Long awaited by all kindred
When the promised Saviour appears
Here on earth in human form.

Watching over their flocks by night

The true, glad tidings of great joy.

That came from the angelic lips.

Yet Christ the Lord on earth is He
In David's city is He born
In a humble manger forlon.

For his tender and endless love
That to a world in need brought peace
