2 He came down to earth from heaven, 5 And our eyes at last shall see Him,

Who is God and Lord of all,

And His shelter was a stable,

And His cradle was a stall.
With the poor and mean and lowly
Lived on earth our Saviour holy.

3 And through all His wondrous child- 6 He would honour and obey, [hood Love and watch the lowly mother

In whose gentle arms He lay. Christian children all must be Mild, obedient, good as He.

Through His own redeeming love;
For that Child so dear and gentle

Is our Lord in heaven above;
And He leads His children on
To the place where He is gone.

Not in that poor lowly stable,

With the oxen standing by,
We shall see Him, but in heaven,

Set at God's right hand on high;
When, like stars, His children crowned
All in white shall wait around.
