Verse 1
Children have a right to sing
Praises to their Infant-King,
Tell how Christ the holy child
God and man hath reconcil’d.

Verse 2
Whom the heavens cannot contain,
Very God and very man,
God was in his infancy
Weak and ignorant like me.

Verse 3
Wherefore did he stoop so low?
Jesus, help my heart to know,
Thou who didst my flesh receive,
Unto me thy Spirit give.

Verse 4
Thus explain the mystery;
Then I shall be one with thee,
Then I shall above the sky
Endless hallelujahs cry.
