Lyrics

He is born the divine Christ Child;
Play on the oboe and bagpipes merrily:
He is born, the Divine Christ Child;
Join in the Song for the Lord has come.

Prophets wise had foretold his birth,
Pledging peace to all men on earth,
Filled with hope men began to pray,
Till his coming this happy day.

Born within a stable small,
He is king and Lord of all;
With his mother, meek and mild,
Shepherds greet him, the little child.
