| Tune: | VI MÅSTE BYTA HJÄRTAN |
| Composer: | Joseph Haydn |
1 A great and mighty wonder
Our Christmas Festal brings
On earth, a lowly Infant,
Behold the King of kings!
2 The Word is made incarnate,
Descending from on high;
And cherubim sing anthems
To shepherds, from the sky.
3 And we with them triumphant,
Repeat the hymn again:
"To God on high be glory,
And peace on earth to men!"
4 Since all He comes to ransom,
By all be He adored,
The Infant born in Bethleh'm,
The Saviour and the Lord!
