For you in David's town this day is born, of David's line, A Savior, who is Christ the Lord, A Savior, who is Christ the Lord; And this shall be the sign, and this shall be the sign, and this shall be the sign."

Verse 4

The heav'nly Babe you there shall find to human view displayed, all meanly wrapped in swaddling bands, all meanly wrapped in swaddling bands, and in a manger laid, and in a manger laid, and in a manger laid."
