Language: English 
Gentle Mary, see a star is shining bright!
And the angels watch thy little one
who's sleeping in the manger,
On this holy night.

Gentle Mary, see the beaming ray of light,
That has guided all the shepherds
and the wise men bearing gifts to Him,
This holy night.

Gentle Mary, God in all His wond'rous might,
Sent this little child to be a Saviour for the meek and lowly,
Bringing peace, good will to men,
This holy night.
