We would see Je­sus, the babe in the man­ger,
Come to the world on this glad Christ­mas morn,
Fall down be­fore Him with shep­herds and wise men,
Giving our love to the King new­ly born.

Refrain

We would see Je­sus, we would see Je­sus,
Worship the King we love and adore,
Born unto us one glad Christ­mas morn­ing;
To His dear name be praise for­ev­er­more!

We would see Je­sus, the Son of the High­est;
Angels with rap­ture His prais­es re­peat;
Tho’ so un­wor­thy, we come with re­joic­ing,
Bringing our trea­sures to lay at His feet.

Refrain

We would see Je­sus; in realms of the bless­èd
Some day be­fore Him the ran­somed shall stand,
Seeing His face in its glo­ri­ous beau­ty,
Wearing a crown in that pa­ra­dise land.

Refrain
