Unto Us A Boy Is Born

Author: Percy Dearmer Meter: 7.6.7.6 Appears in 45 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Unto us a boy is born, King of all creation: Came He to world forlorn, Lord of every nation. 2 Cradled in a stall was He ’Midst the cows and asses; But the very beasts could see He all men surpasses. 3 Herod then with fear was filled: A prince, he said, in Jewry! All the little boys he killed At Bethl’em in his fury. 4 Now may Mary’s son, who came Long ago to love us, Lead us all with hearts aflame To the joys above us. 5 Alpha and Omega He! Let the organ thunder, While the choir with peals of glee Rends the air asunder. Used With Tune: LASST UNS ALLE Text Sources: Moosburg Gradual, circa 1360
