1 Ev’ry star shall sing a carol;
ev’ry creature, high or low,
Come and praise the King of Heaven,
by whatever name you know.
When the King of all creation
Had a cradle on the earth,
Holy was the human body
Holy was the human birth.

Refrain:
God above, Man below,
Holy is the name I know.

2 Who can tell what other cradle,
high above the milky way,
Still may rock the King of Heaven
on another Christmas Day?
Who can count how many crosses,
still to come or long ago,
Crucify the King of Heaven?
Holy is the name I know. [Refrain]

3 Who can tell what other body
he will hallow for his own?
I will praise the Son of Mary,
Brother of my blood and bone.
Ev’ery star and ev’ry planet,
Ev’ry creature, high and low,
Come and praise the King of Heaven
By whatever name you know. [Refrain]

Holy is the name I know.
