Thou Child Divine, Emmanuel,

O welcome in thy humble manger!

With heartfelt joy thy birth we hail,

And greet with songs the heavenly Stranger.

Our doubts, and fears, and sadness,

Are turn’d to joy and gladness:

Good-will to man, and peace on earth,

Are now declared by our Saviour’s birth.

Thou Child Divine, Emmanuel,

O welcome in thy humble manger!

With heartfelt joy thy birth we hail,

And greet with songs the heavenly Stranger.
