UNTO US A BOY IS BORN

Unto us a boy is born,\nKing of all creation.\nCame he to the world forlorn,\nThe Lord of every nation. (2)\n57\n2. Cradled in a stall was he,\nWith sleepy cows and asses,\nBut the very beast could see\nThat he all men surpasses. (2)\n3. Herod then with fear was filled:\n‘A Prince’, he said, ‘injury!’\nAll the little boys he killed,\nAt Bethlehem in his fury. (2)\n4. Now may Mary’s son who came\nSo long ago to love us,\nLead us all with hearts aflame\nUnto the joys above us. (2)\n5. Omega and Alpha he,\nLet the organ thunder\nWhile the choir with peals of glee\nDoth rend the air asunder. (2)
