Author: Emily E. S. Elliott Appears in 51 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There came a little Child to earth Long ago, And the angels of God proclaimed His birth, High and low. 2 Out in the night, so calm and still, Their song was heard; For they knew that the Child on Bethlehem’s hill Was Christ the Lord. 3 They sing how the Lord of the world so fair, A Child was born; And that we might a crown of glory ware, Wore a crown of thorn. 4 In mortal weakness, in want and pain, He came to die, That the children of earth might forever reign With Him on high.
