In Bethlehem of Judah
- In Bethlehem of Judah To
us a Child is born; From highest realms of
heaven That Child came down this morn, Aiyah,
aiyah! That Child came down this morn. - My love, O Child, I give Thee From
all my heart and soul, In joys and deepest
sadness Thy love shall be my goal, Aiyah,
aiyah! Thy love shall be my goal. - Thy grace for this O grant me, This
is my heart’s desire; Oh! could I only
love Thee Like Seraphs all a – fire! Aiyah,
aiyah! Like Ser-aphs all a- fire! - True God, I here behold Thee In
man’s frail nature drest, Be Thou, then, God
incar-nate, My soul’s sweet place of rest, Aiyah,
aiyah! My soul’s sweet place of rest. - O Child, see me all lovelorn For
Thee who lov’st so strong; To me my heart no
longer, Nor aught on earth belong, Aiyah,
aiyah! Nor aught on earth be-long. - The love that is between us No
pow’r shall ever part, It is a tie
eternal; As pledge accept my heart, Aiyah,
aiyah! As pledge accept my heart.
