Earthly friends will change and falter,
Earthly hears will vary:
He is born that cannot alter,
Of the Virgin Mary.
Born today,—
Raise the lay:
Born today,—
Twine the bay:
Jesus Christ is born to suffer,
Born for you:
Jesus Christ was born to conquer,
Born to save:
Born to save,—
Laurel wave:
Jesus Christ was born to govern,
Born a King:
Born a King:—
Bay-wreaths bring:
Jesus Christ was born of Mary,
Born for all!
Well befal
Hearth and Hall!
Jesus Christ was born at Christmas,
Born for all.
