CAC HYMN 527
YORUBA VERSION
1. Nigba kan ni Betlehemu,
Ile kekere kan wa,
Nib’ iya kan te ‘mo re si,
Lori ibuje eran;
Maria n’iya omo na,
Jesu Krist si l’omo na.

2. O t’orun wa s’ode aye,

‘Buje eran fun ‘busun;
Lodo awon otosi,

3. Ni gbogbo igba ewe Re,
O ngboran, O si mb’ola;

4. ‘Tori On je awose wa,
A ma dagba bi awa;
O kere ko le da nkan se,

6. Ki se ni ibuje eran
Nibiti malu njeun
L’awa o ri, sugbon l’orun
Lowo otun Olorun;
‘Gba won ‘mo Re b’irawo
Ba wa n’nu aso ala.
Amin.

ENGLISH VERSION

1. Once in royal David’s city
Stood a lowly cattle-shed,
Where a mother laid her baby
In a manger for His bed.
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ her little child.

2. He came down to earth from heaven
Who is God and Lord of all,
And His shelter was a stable,
And His cradle was a stall,
With the poor, and mean, and lowly
Lived on earth our Saviour holy.

3. And through all His wondrous childhood
He would honour and obey
Love, and watch the lowly maiden
In whose gently arms He lay
Christian children all must be
Mild, obedient, good as He.

4. For He is our childhood’s pattern;
Day by day like us He grew;
He was little, weak, and helpless;
Tears and smiles like us He knew
And He feeleth for our sadness,
And He shareth in our gladness.

5. And our eyes at last shall see Him,
Through His own redeeming love;
For that child so dear and gentle
Is our Lord in heaven above;
And He leads His children on
To the place where He is gone.

6. Not in that poor lowly stable,
With the oxen standing by,
We shall see Him; but in Heaven,
Set at God’s right hand on high;
When like stars His children crown’d
All in white shall wait around.

Amen.
