112. He Is Born

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 Thro' long ages of the past,
Prophets have foretold His coming;
Thro' 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 human-kind! [Refrain]

3 Jesus, Lord of all the world,
Coming as a Child among us;
Jesus, Lord of all the world,
Grant to us Thy heav'nly peace. [Refrain]
