Rhyme Scheme: AAABBCC DDDEFGG HHHGGII JJJKKCC| Wrapped was the world in slumber deep | A |
| By seaward valley and cedarn steep | A |
| And bright and blest were the dreams of its sleep | A |
| All the hours of that wonderful night tide through | B |
| The stars outblossomed in fields of blue | B |
| A heavenly chaplet to diadem | C |
| The King in the manger of Bethlehem | C |
| - | |
| Out on the hills the shepherds lay | D |
| Wakeful that never a lamb might stray | D |
| Humble and clean of heart were they | D |
| Thus it was given them to hear | E |
| Marvellous harpings strange and clear | F |
| Thus it was given them to see | G |
| The heralds of the nativity | G |
| - | |
| In the dim lit stable the mother mild | H |
| Looked with holy eyes on her child | H |
| Cradled him close to her heart and smiled | H |
| Kingly purple nor crown had he | G |
| Never a trapping of royalty | G |
| But Mary saw that the baby's head | I |
| With a slender nimbus was garlanded | I |
| - | |
| Speechless her joy as she watched him there | J |
| Forgetful of pain and grief and care | J |
| And every thought in her soul was a prayer | J |
| While under the dome of the desert sky | K |
| The Kings of the East from afar drew nigh | K |
| And the great white star that was guide to them | C |
| Kept ward o'er the manger of Bethlehem | C |
