English Lyrics by Edith Margaret Gellibrand Reed, Original Lyrics Traditional

VERSE 1

F                   C 
Infant holy, Infant lowly,

Am      F   Bb C7     F 
For His bed a  cattle stall;

                    Gm 
Oxen lowing, Little knowing,

F               Bb C7      F 
Christ the Babe is Lord of all.

          Bb       Bm     C 
Swift are winging, Angels singing,

Am    Dm       Bb       C 
Noels ringing, Tidings, bringing,

F               Bb C7      Dm 
Christ the Babe is Lord of all,

F               Bb C7      Dm 
Christ the Babe is Lord of all. 

  
VERSE 2

F                               C 
Flocks were sleeping, Shepherds keeping,

Am    F    Bb  C7      F 
Vigil till the morning new,

                         Gm 
Saw the glory, Heard the story,

F          Bb C7     F 
Tidings of a  gospel true.

       Bb       Gm        C 
Thus rejoicing, Free from sorrow,

Am      Dm       Bb        C 
Praises voicing, Greet the morrow,

F               Bb  C7       Dm 
Christ the Babe was born for you,

F               Bb  C7       F 
Christ the Babe was born for you.
