Come, let us with speed

Verse 1
Come, let us with speed To Bethlehem go,
The house of that Bread Which God doth bestow
To all He hath given, And sent from above
The Banquet of heaven, The Son of his love.

Verse 2
By faith we shall see Him promis’d of old,
And know it is He Of whom we were told,
That heavenly Stranger Fall prostrate before,
And God in a manger With angels adore!
