Born in a stable bare of humble birth
Born of a Virgin pure, to dwell on earth
Let all mankind rejoice on this great day
For Christ is born
He came to us that wars on earth may cease
He came to bring us hope and joy and peace
Worship o nations at His feet today
For Christ is born
Glory to God on high, we all will sing
Glory and praise we render to our King
Peace on earth, goodwill to men this day
For Christ is born
Stannington is often sung as a Lady's Solo, the other singers joining in
with the last line of each verse - 'For Christ is born'. Again,
it is usual for everyone to sing the last verse throughout.
