[Refrain] 3 Baby Savior, born at night In the ages, long ago, Angels sang and stars gave light For Thy humble home below. [Refrain] 4 Kingly Savior, throned tonight In that holy land above, Crowned with glory, cald in light, Send Thy messengers of love. [Refrain] 5 Lo, we hear the song o'erhead! Lo, we see the star arise! Like the Wise Men we are led, In the still night unto Christ.
