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.
