<p>From east to west, from shore to shore,<br>
Let every heart awake and sing<br>
The holy Child Whom Mary bore,<br>
The Christ, the everlasting King.</p>
<p>Behold, the world&#8217;s Creator wears<br>
The form and fashion of a slave;<br>
Our very flesh our Maker shares,<br>
His fallen creature, man, to save.</p>
<p>For this how wondrously He wrought!<br>
A maiden, in her lowly place,<br>
Became, in ways beyond all thought,<br>
The chosen vessel of His grace.</p>
<p>She bowed her to the angel&#8217;s word<br>
Declaring what the Father willed,<br>
And suddenly the promised Lord<br>
That pure and hallowed temple filled.</p>
<p>He shrank not from the oxen&#8217;s stall,<br>
He lay within the manger bed,<br>
And He whose bounty feedeth all<br>
At Mary&#8217;s breast Himself was fed.</p>
<p>And while the angels in the sky<br>
Sang praise above the silent field,<br>
To shepherds poor the Lord Most High,<br>
The one great Shepherd, was revealed.</p>
<p>All glory for this bless&egrave;d morn<br>
To God the Father ever be;<br>
All praise to Thee, O virgin born,<br>
All praise, O Holy Ghost, to Thee.</p>
