In Bethlehem;
Therefore rejoice, Jerusalem.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
2 He doth within a manger lie,
A manger lie;
Whose throne is set above the sky.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
3 Stillness was all the manger round,
The manger round;
The creature its Creator found.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
4 The wise men came, led by the star,
Led by the star;
Gold, myrrh and incense, brought from far.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
5 His mother is the virgin mild,
The virgin mild;
And He the Father's only child.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
6 Like us, in flesh of human frame,
Of human frame;
Unlike in sin alone He came.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
7 To fallen man Himself He bowed,
Himself He bowed;
That He might lift us up to God.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
8 On this most blessed Jubilee,
Blest Jubilee,
All glory be, O God, to Thee.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
9 The Holy Trinity be praised,
Hallelujah;
To God our ceaseless thanks be raised.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Topics: The Church Year Christmas; The Church Year Christmas Used With Tune: [A Babe is born in Bethlehem] Text Sources: Latin, 14th Century
