1 With no pomp of earthly splendor
Comes the Savior, promised long,
Heralded by angel voices,
Blending in triumphant song;
On the shepherds’ lonely vigil
Falls the radiance from afar;
Seek they now the newborn Monarch,
Guided by the eastern star.
Refrain:
Bow before Him, and adore Him;
At His feet your offering fling;
Child in form, yet Lord of glory,
Christ of Heav’n and earth the King.
2 Humbly cradled in a manger
Helpless lies the slumbering Child,
Guarded by the virgin mother,
Meek and lowly, undefiled.
"God with us," oh, blessed promise!
Name all other names above;
Human for our sins to suffer,
But divine in matchless love. [Refrain]
