Verse 1:
D MajorD          E minorEm  A augmentedA      D MajorD
Gathered ‘round Your table on this holy eve,
B minorBm         E minorEm   A7A7       D MajorD
Viewing Bethl’hem’s stable we rejoice and grieve.
D MajorD       E minorEm  A augmentedA       B minorBm
Joy to see You lying in Your manger bed;
G+G        E minorEm  A augmentedA       D MajorD
Weep to see You dying in our sinful stead.

Verse 2:
D MajorD        E minorEm   A augmentedA         D MajorD
Prince of Glory, gracing Heav’n ere time began
B minorBm      E minorEm    A7A7       D MajorD
Now for us embracing death as Son of Man
D MajorD        E minorEm   A augmentedA        B minorBm
By Your birth so lowly, by Your love so true,
G+G         E minorEm  A augmentedA        D MajorD
By Your cross most holy, Lord, we worship You.

Verse 3:
D MajorD        E minorEm   A augmentedA         D MajorD
Behl’hem’s Incarnation, Calv’ry’s bitter cross,
B minorBm        E minorEm   A7A7        D MajorD
Wrought for us salvation by Your pain and loss
D MajorD       E minorEm   A augmentedA      B minorBm
Now we fall before You in this holy place;
G+G       E minorEm  A augmentedA          D MajorD
Prostrate we adore You for Your gift of grace

Verse 4:
D MajorD        E minorEm   A augmentedA      D MajorD
With profoundest wonder we Your body take
B minorBm       E minorEm    A7A7       D MajorD
Laid in manger younder, broken for our sake.
D MajorD      E minorEm   A augmentedA        B minorBm
Hushed in adoration we approach the cup;
G+G         E minorEm    A augmentedA       D MajorD
Bethl’hem’s pure oblation freely offered up.

Verse 5:
D MajorD         E minorEm   A augmentedA         D MajorD
Christmas babe so tender, Lamb who bore our blame,
B minorBm        E minorEm   A7A7        D MajorD
How shall sinners render praises due Your name?
D MajorD        E minorEm    A augmentedA        B minorBm
Do Your own good pleasure in the lives we bring;
G+G        E minorEm    A augmentedA       D MajorD
In Your ransomed treasure reign forever King!
