Verse 1
Gathered 'round Your table on this holy eve
Viewing Bethlehem's stable we rejoice and grieve
Joy to see You lying in Your manger bed
Weep to see You dying in our sinful stead
Verse 2
Prince of Glory gracing Heav'n ere time began
Now for us embracing death as Son of Man
By Your birth so lowly by Your love so true
By Your cross most holy Lord we worship You
Verse 3
Bethlehem's Incarnation Calvary's bitter cross
Wrought for us salvation by Your pain and loss
Now we fall before You in this holy place
Prostrate we adore You for Your gift of grace
Verse 4
With profoundest wonder we Your body take
Laid in manger yonder broken for our sake
Hushed in adoration we approach the cup
Bethlehem's pure oblation freely offered up
Verse 5
Christmas Babe so tender Lamb who bore our blame
How shall sinners render praises due Your name
Do Your own good pleasure in the lives we bring
