When the Christ was born, the very Light,
Mankind to redeem undertaking,
He lay in a manger at dead of night
His bed with oxen making.
But over the manger, a star glittered fair,
And the (oxen?) knew that the Lord was there,
Alleluiah, alleluiah, Lord Jesus.
Then rouse ye my soul, thou art not forlorn.
Forget thou the weight of thy sadness.
This (child?) in the City of David born
For morning brings us gladness.
O let us follow this little child
In spirit, child-like and undefiled,
Alleluiah, alleluiah, Lord Jesus."
