[F#m] Beautiful mother [C#m] is bending _ [F#m]
low, _ [C#] _ where [G#m] her baby [C#m] _ _ _ lies. _ _ _
Helpless [B] and frail for [E] her _ [F#m] tending bud, [C#m] she knows the [G#m] _
[C#] glorious I. _ _ _
[F#m] The _ [B] mother smiles [C#] and _ rejoices, [C#m] _ _ [F#m] while baby _
[G#] laughs [C#m] in the hay. _ _
[F#m] She listens [G#] to [C#] heavenly voices.
_ _ _ [F#m] A child shall [G#m] be king one [C#] _ _
_ [C#m] [F#m] day.

All [C#m] nations [F#m] draw near to [C#m] the manger, _ [F#m] oh, _ [C#] _
on [G#m] this holy _ [C#] _ night. _
_ _ _ [C#m] Surely [B] as shepherds [E] and kings [F#m] may come [C#m] to know [G#m] the _ [C#] glorious _
_ _ [C#m] _ [F#m] I,
Oh, see [B] the [C#] angels before him, [C#m] _
[F#m] who rule [G#] the earth with [C#m] their _ _ _ might.
With [F#m] Joseph [G#] and Mary, [C#m] _ _ glorious _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ stillness [G#m] behold.
