The Babe in the manger, my God;

Weep for thy sins, O heart, and plead

With Mary the mother of God.

May I not come, oh, just to the door,

To see the Babe, my God;

There will I stop and kneel and adore,

And weep for my sins, O God!

But Mary smiles, and rising up,

In her arms the Babe, my God,

She comes to the door and bends her down,
