1 O chief of cities, Bethlehem,
Of David's crown the fairest gem,
But more to use than David's name,
In you, as man, the Savior came.
Stanzas 2-4 available in purchased product; omitted in free on-line demo
5 O Jesus, whom the Gentiles see,
With Father, Spirit, One in Three:
To you, O God, be glory giv'n
By saints on earth and saints in heav'n.
