G. Joshua
Who are you in the bosom of Mary:
Rulers as they hear tremble with fear?
Who are you that lie in the manger;
The cattle dance at your gracious glance?
Who are you in such squalor born
Amidst the beasts in the Bethlehem byre?
Who are you, O Holy Infant!
The star so bright pervades its light?
Who are you that smile at the shepherds
As they see your visage and pay you homage?
Who are you; the Oriental wise men
Their offerings bring befitting a king?
Who are you, O Sweetest King!
Sounds of celestial trumpets echo?
Who are you, Embodiment of Love!
The heaven rejoices with angelic voices?
(Original in Telugu ‘KREESTHU’ written by Padmabhushan G. JOSHUA. Translated by B. THEODORE)
