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.
Thru long ages of the past,
Prophets have foretold His coming;
Thru long ages of the past,
Now the time has come at last!
O how lovely, O how pure
Is this perfect Child of heaven;
O how lovely, O how pure,
Gracious gift to humankind!
Jesus, Lord of all the world,
Coming as a Child among us;
Jesus, Lord of all the world,
Grant to us Thy heavenly peace.
