O Come, Little Children

"O Come, Little Children" is a Christmas song written by Christoph von Schmidt and J. A. P. Schulz.

Lyrics

 * O come little children O come one and all
 * To Bethlehem's haste the manger so small
 * God's son for a gift has been sent you this night
 * To be your redeemer your joy and delight


 * He's born in a stable for you and for me
 * Draw near by the bright gleaming starlight to see
 * In swaddling clothes lying so meek and so mild
 * And purer than angels the heavenly Child


 * See Mary and Joseph with love beaming eyes
 * Are gazing upon the rude bed where He lies
 * The shepherds are kneeling with hearts of love
 * While angels sing loud hallelujahs above


 * Kneel down and adore Him with shepherds today
 * Lift up little hands now and praise Him as they
 * Rejoice that a Savior from sin you can boast
 * And join in the song of the heavenly host
