"Though poor be the chamber,
Come here, come and adore:
Lo! the Lord of Heaven
Hath to mortals given
Life for evermore
Life for evermore,
Life for evermore.

Shepherds, whose flocks were folded around you,
Tell what was told by Angel voices near,
To you this night is born
He who will guide you
Through paths of peace to living waers clear!

Though poor be the chamber,
Come here, come and adore:
Lo! the Lord of Heaven
Hath to mortals given
Life for evermore..." (Click the link above for the rest of the lyrics)
