The Cambridge Carol Book/To us this morn a Child is born
XXXI. TO US THIS MORN A CHILD IS BORN
1.To us this morn a Child is born,
His Father is none other
Than God the King of ev'ry thing,
Maid Mary is His Mother.
2.Her Babe is Lord by all adored;
Esaias had foreshown her:
Now came't to pass that ox and ass
Bow'd down afore their owner.
3.When Herod heard the Mages' word,
He smote the babes asunder
In all that coast, a blameless host,
From two years old and under.
4.Now, faithful quire, bless God the Sire,
Bless God the Spirit Holy,
Bless God, the Son ere time begun,
Now lain in manger lowly.
