| 1. From east to west,
from shore to shore,
Let earth awake and sing
The holy Child Whom Mary bore,
The Christ, the lord, the King.
2. For lo! the world’s Creator wears
The fashion of a slave;
Our human flesh
the godhead bears,
His creature, man, to save.
3. He shrank not from the oxen’s stall,
Nor scorned the manger bed,
And He whose bounty feedeth all
At Mary’s breast was fed.
4. All glory be to God above,
And on the earth be peace;
To all who long to taste his love,
Till time itself shall cease.
