A ba­by once slept in a man­ger,
A mo­ther sat close by His side;
This babe was the lit­tle Lord Je­sus
Who for our sins suf­fered and died.

Refrain

Jesus, Je­sus,
Born this bless­èd morn­ing;
Hail Him! Hail Him!
On this Christ­mas day.

Wise men sought this lit­tle Lord Je­sus
Who lived on the earth long ago;
They came with their beau­ti­ful trea­sures
To Beth­le­hem’s plain through the snow.

Refrain

Now if we will seek this Lord Je­sus,
He’ll fill all our hearts with His love;
And gent­ly His Spi­rit will guide us
To beau­ti­ful man­sions above.
