Earthly Friends Will Change And Falter Lyrics

Earthly friends will change and falter,
Earthly hearts will vary;
He is born, that cannot alter,
Of the Virgin Mary.
Born today, Raise the lay:
Born today, Twine the bay:
Jesus Christ is born to suffer,
Born for you: Born for you --
Holly strew.
Jesus Christ was born to conquer,
Born to save:
Born to save--
Laurel wave:
Jesus Christ was born to govern,
Born a King: Born a King --
Bay-wreaths bring:
Jesus Christ was born of Mary,
Born for all! Well befall
Hearth and hall!
Jesus Christ was born at Christmas,
Born for all.
