And grief His close companion still Through all His life below! 3 Yet all the griefs He felt were ours, Ours were the woes He bore; Pangs, not His own, His spotless soul With bitter anguish tore. 4 We held Him as condemned of heaven, An outcast from His God; While for our sins He groaned, He bled, Beneath His Father's rod. 5 His sacred blood hath washed our souls From sin's polluting stain; His stripes have healed us, and His death Revived our souls again. 6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray In ruin’s fatal road; On Him were our transgressions laid; He bore the mighty load. 7 He died to bear the guilt of men, That sin might be forgiven; He lives to bless them and defend, And plead their cause in heaven.

Who is it in yon manger lies? Who is this child so young and fair? Dear little Jesus lieth there. 8 All hail, Thou noble Guest, this morn, Whose love did not the sinner scorn! In my distress Thou comest to me; What thanks shall I return to Thee? 9 Ah Lord, who hast created all, How hast Thou made Thee weak and small, That Thou must choose Thy infant bed Where ass and ox but lately fed! 10 Were earth a thousand times as fair, Beset with gold and jewels rare, She yet were far too poor to be A narrow cradle, Lord, for Thee. 11 For velvets soft and silken stuff Thou hast but hay and straw so rough, Whereon Thou, King, so rich and great, As 'twere Thy heaven, art throned in state. 12 And thus, dear Lord, it pleaseth Thee To make this truth quite plain to me, That all the world's wealth, honor, might, Are naught and worthless in Thy sight. 13 O dearest Jesus, holy Child, Make Thee a bed, soft, undefiled, Within my heart, that it may be A quiet chamber kept for Thee. 14 My heart for very joy doth leap, My lips no more can silence keep; I too must raise with joyful tongue That sweetest ancient cradle-song: 15 Praise God upon His heavenly throne, Who gave to us His only Son!
