Original text and translations

English text

1 Child Jesus comes, from heav'nly height,
To save us from sin's keeping;
On manger straw, in darksome night,
The Blessed One lies sleeping;
The Star smiles down, the angels greet,
The oxen kiss the Baby's feet.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Child Jesus.

2 Take courage, soul, in grief cast down,
Forget the bitter feeling;
A Child is born in David's town,
To touch all souls with healing;
Then let us go and seek the child,
Children like Him, meek, undefiled.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Child Jesus!
