WORDS: Polish carol; paraphrase by Edith E. M. Reed
MUSIC: Traditional Polish melody
INFANT HOLY, INFANT LOWLY
VERSE 1:
G D
Infant holy, Infant lowly,
C2 G
For His bed- a cattle stall;
D
Oxen lowing, little knowing
C2 G
Christ, the Babe, is Lord of all.
C D
Swift are winging angels singing,
Em D
Noels ringing, tidings bringing:
C2 Em
Chist, the Babe, is Lord of all!
C2 G
Christ, the Babe, is Lord of all!
VERSE 2:
Flocks were sleeping; shepherds keeping
Vigil till the morning new
Saw the glory, heard the story-
Tidings of a gospel true.
Thus rejoicing, free from sorrow,
Praises voicing greet the morrow:
Christ, the Babe, was born for you!
Christ, the Babe, was born for you!
