A Babe is born in Bethlehem
( A Babe is born in Bethlehem ; The Father's word on high doth take ; Through Gabriel his greeting mild ; Born of His Mother, maid Marie ; He took out flesh, to man akin ; Both ox and ass, though beasts they be ; In narrow crib He lieth low ; An angel gave the swains a sign ; From Saba come kings to their King ; Into the house full fain they press ; To Thee, good Lord, be glory paid ; To Holy Trinity give praise )
