Refrain:
He is born, the divine Christ-Child,
Play the oboe and bagpipes merrily!
He is born, the divine Christ-Child,
Sing we all of the Savior mild.
1 Through long ages of the past,
Prophets have foretold His coming;
Through long ages of the past,
Now the time has come at last! (Refrain)
2 O how lovely, O how pure
Is this perfect Child of heaven;
O how lovely, O how pure
Gracious gift to humankind! (Refrain)
3 Jesus, Lord of all the world,
Coming as a Child among us,
Jesus, Lord of all the world,
Grant to us Thy heavenly peace. (Refrain)
