Watch on YouTube: We Kneel Beside Thy Bed in Awe, short version

1. O tender bud, O purest light
Now glowing in the darkest night.
O princely babe, O holy child,
Begotten to be undefiled.

We kneel beside Thy bed in awe,
And let our tears fall to the straw.

2. O joyous song, O sweetest taste,
Restoring what would go to waste.
O peaceful prince, O mighty king,
Begotten to remove death’s sting.

We kneel beside Thy bed in awe,
And let our tears fall to the straw.

3. O wondrous love, O beauteous Son,
Now come to succor everyone.
O truthful Word, O faithful friend,
Begotten that our pain might end.

We kneel beside Thy bed in awe,
And let our tears fall to the straw.
