Stanza 1 is interlinear, between the staves, one line per system, with «1.» before «From»; lines 1–4 are set as running words (only «si-lence» hyphenated), the chorus as «Hal - le - lu-jah! hal - le - lu-jah! Hal - le - lu- jah! Christ is born.». The word «Chorus.» is printed in bold above the treble staff at «Hal-» (m9): the last two lines of the 8s & 7s. 6l. stanza are the chorus. It is printed once; stanzas 2–4 (text below the music, four lines each, numbers without a period) are sung to the verse music and followed by the same chorus, which is not repeated in print.

The print sets a thin space before «;», «?» and «!» («dews ;», «news ?», «jah !», «love ;»); it is closed up here. «Boon on earth from courts above!» (stanza 3) is the print's reading. Spelling («Saviour-king»), punctuation and capitals are the print's.
