1 Holy Babe, our great salvation,
Jesu, born to save the earth,
Let pure hearts with love unfailing
Celebrate Thy wondrous birth.
2 Loving Shepherd, night descending
Calls us soon to needful sleep;
But Thou still, Thy flock defending,
From the wolf wilt guard Thy sheep.
3 From the bosom of Thy mother,
Thou, like us, didst nurture find;
Be Thou then our elder brother,
And protector ever kind.
4 Hail, the Dayspring of salvation;
Virgin born, to Thee be praise;
Father, Thine be adoration;
Spirit, Thine through endless days.
