14212. Carol, Children

1 Carol, children, Christ is here!
Carol for this Baby dear!
This is man, but God the more;
Sing beside the stable door!

Refrain:
Sing, O children, come and sing!
Praise our Christ, and praise our king!
Gladdest night, most happy morn,
Christ our Lord this day is born!

2 This our king without a crown
In a manger is laid down!
As the maid with meekest hands
Wraps Him all in swathing bands. [Refrain]

3 Sing our best, both young and old,
Never heart this time be cold;
Never eye of faith be dim;
Come and love and worship Him! [Refrain]
