SacredOrigin: FranceFirst published 1862
1
Through long ages of the past, prophets have foretold His coming; through long ages of the past, now the time has come at last!
He is born, the divine Christ Child; play the oboe and bagpipes merrily! He is born, the divine Christ Child; sing we all of the Savior mild.
2
O how lovely, oh,O how pure is this perfect Child of heaven; O how lovely, O how pure, gracious gift to human-kind!
He is born, the divine Christ Child; play the oboe and bagpipes merrily! He is born, the divine Christ Child; sing we all of the Savior mild.
3
Jesus, Lord of all the world, coming as a Child among us; Jesus, Lord of all the world, grant to us Thy heavenly peace.
He is born, the divine Christ Child; play the oboe and bagpipes merrily! He is born, the divine Christ Child; sing we all of the Savior mild.
