1
Adalah di kota Daud, kandang satu yang rendah.
Di palungan dibaringkan oleh ibu bayinya.
Anak Maria lahirlah, Yesus Kristus nama-Nya.
2
Anak itu sudah turun, dari kemuliaan-Nya.
Tuhan surga serta bumi lahir di tempat rendah.
Jadi sobat dan teman orang yang dihinakan.
3
Pengasihan Anak ini, menebus manusia.
Nanti kita lihat Dia di kemuliaan-Nya.
Kita pun dipimpin-Nya, ke kerajaan baka.
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 gentle 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 Heav’n 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 crowned,
All in white shall wait around.
