The Infant Jesus

"The Infant Jesus" is a Christmas song written by Pietro Yon and translated by Frederick H. Martens. It is also known by its Latin version, "Gesu Bambino". The melody and lyrics of the chorus are derived from that of O Come All Ye Faithful.

Lyrics

 * When blossoms flowered 'mid the snows
 * Upon a winter night
 * Was born the child the Christmas rose
 * The King of love and light


 * The angels sang the shepherds sang
 * The grateful Earth rejoiced
 * And at His blessed birth the stars
 * Their exultation voiced


 * [Chorus]
 * O come let us adore Him
 * O come let us adore Him
 * O come let us adore Him
 * Christ the Lord


 * Again the heart with rapture glows
 * To greet the holy night
 * That gave the world its Christmas rose
 * Its King of love and light


 * Let ev'ry voice acclaim His name
 * The grateful chorus swell
 * From paradise to Earth He came
 * That we with Him might dwell


 * [Chorus]
