Refrain:
He is born, the holy Child,
play the oboe and bagpipes merrily!
He is born, the holy Child,
sing we all of the Savior mild.
1 Thru long ages of the past,
Prophets have foretold his coming;
Thru 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]
