[Verse]
             G      D
Lo, within a manger lies
                        A
He who built the starry skies
D                  G         D

Sits amid the Cherubim

                        A
What your joyful news today
D                 G         D
Wherefore have ye left your sheep

On the lonely mountain steep?

Lo, we saw a wondrous sight
D               G        D
Angels singing, peace on earth

Told us of our saviour's birth
