Sweet little baby boy
In his manger, dear
Got to see what he had to go through
For coming to this world and be here

Sweet little baby boy
That's the Savior was born
On a day that was so cold, oh
Yes, on a Christmas morning

Hoping for a world that would be happy and bright
As all things are on a Christmas night
Can't you see I'm lyin' there, no, in a cradle battered and torn
Yes, in that battered cradle, the Savior was born

Sweet little baby boy, sweet little baby boy
To the world known by love
But the love and loved His wishes
And to humanity there will be a son

Hoping for a world, one more time
As things are on a Christmas night
Can't you see I'm lyin' there, no
In a cradle so battered and torn
Yes, in that battered cradle
Savior of the world was born
Sweet little baby boy
But the world You know Him by love
But to love and be loved was his wishes
And to humanity there will be a son
Sweet little baby boy
Sweet little baby boy
Sweet little baby boy
