O Come, Little Children
Christoph von Schmid (1794) • Melanie Schute (alt.) • English
Primary Scripture: Luke 18:16
Verse 1
O come, little children; come one and come all, O come to the manger in Bethlehem's stall, And see what our Father in heaven above Has sent to all people on earth with his love.
Verse 2
O see in the manger so meek and so mild, O see in the soft light the heavenly Child, In swaddling clothes folded, his beauty more sweet Than angels, whose voices his lowly birth greet.
Verse 3
His bed, little children, a manger with hay; His Mother and Joseph in ecstasy pray, The shepherds in wonder their glad worship bring, While chorus of angels sweet Glorias sing.
