Chorus:
He is born the Holy Child!
Music resound, lift up your voices:
He is born the Holy Child!
God and sinners reconciled.

1. O how sweet his smiling face,
As we worship and adore him,
O how sweet his smiling face,
O how full of love and grace.

2. Lowly manger is his bed,
Ox and ass are his companions,
Lowly manger is his bed,
As the ancient prophets said.

3. Little Jesus, heavenly king,
Bless us ever more we pray thee;
Little Jesus, heaven;y King,
While our happy voices sing.
