COME, COME, COME TO THE MANGER

Come, come, come to the manger,\nChildren, come to the children’s King;\nSing, sing, chorus of angels,\nStars of morning, o’er Bethlehem sing.\nHe lies ‘mid the beasts of the stall,\nWho is Maker and Lord of us all;\nThe wintry wind blows cold and dreary,\nSee, He weeps, the world is weary,\nLord, have pity and mercy on me.\n2. He leaves all his glory behind,\nTo be born and to die for mankind;\nWith grateful beasts his cradle chooses,\nThankless man his love refuses,\nLord, have pity and mercy on me.\n3. To the manger of Bethlehem come,\nTo the Saviour Emmanuel’s home;\nThe heav’nly hosts above are singing,\nSet the Christmas bells a-ringing,\nLord, have pity and mercy on me. Amen.
