A vir­gin pure, both meek and mild
In Beth­le­hem brought forth her child,
In Beth­le­hem brought forth her child;
Our na­ture first on Him to take,
And then, as Christ, our peace to make,
Our na­ture first on Him to take,
And then, as Christ, our peace to make.

Consider what the spot­less Lamb
Did un­de­rgo for sin­ful man,
Did un­der­go for sin­ful man,
Nailed to the cross to pain and die,
While wick­ed spies stood gaz­ing by!
Nailed to the cross to pain and die,
While wick­ed spies stood gaz­ing by!

Who can ex­press the joy and love
That God sent down from Hea­ven above
That God sent down from Hea­ven above
From Sa­tan’s pow­er re­deem­ng all,
When we were lost by Ad­am’s fall?
From Sa­tan’s pow­er re­deem­ing all,
When we were lost by Ad­am’s fall?

Then let us praise the God of Hea­ven,
Who un­to us His Son hath giv’n,
Who un­to us His Son hath giv’n,
Hath sent Him down with us to dwell
Our Je­sus, our Em­ma­nu­el,
Hath sent Him down with us to dwell
Our Je­sus, our Em­ma­nu­el.
