The Mormon Tabernacle Choir performs 'Infant Holy, Infant Lowly,' a traditional Polish Christmas carol that reflects on the humble birth of Jesus Christ. The lyrics describe the nativity scene with the infant in a cattle stall, visited by shepherds and angels. The song emphasizes the paradox of the Christ child being both lowly and Lord of all. It conveys the joy and wonder of the incarnation, inviting listeners to rejoice in the gospel tidings. The carol is a classic Christmas hymn that focuses on the birth of Jesus and the fulfillment of God's promise.
Infant holy, infant lowly,
For his bed a cattle stall;
Oxen lowing, little knowing,
Christ the babe is Lord of all.
Swift are winging angels singing,
Nowells ringing, tidings bringing:
Christ the babe is Lord of all.
Flocks were sleeping, shepherds keeping
Vigil till the morning new
Saw the glory, heard the story,
Tidings of a gospel true.
Thus rejoicing, free from sorrow,
Praises voicing, greet the morrow:
Christ the babe was born for you.
