Born to wear a crown / Sally DeFord

Lo, a Child, born to low estate, lies where ox and lamb are fed

Nor was found a place more worthy, for this Child no softer bed

Born to wear a crown of glory, brighter far than earth affords

For this Child laid in a manger is King of kings and Lord of lords

Lo his palace is a stable, and his robes are swaddling bands

Starlight the gem upon his brow, love the scepter in his hand

Born to wear a crown of glory, brighter far than earth affords

For this Child laid in a manger is King of kings and Lord of lords

Holy infant, Son of Mary, born in Bethlehem this night

He shall be enthroned in heaven, robed in honor, robed in light

Born to wear a crown of glory, brighter far than earth affords

For this Child laid in a manger is King of kings and Lord of lords
