133. Now Is Born the Divine Christ Child

Chorus 1

Now is born the divine Christ child,

Play the musette, play the tuneful oboe,

Now is born the divine Christ child,

Sing we all and rejoice this day.

Verse 1

He was born in a stable bare,

On bed of straw how

He sleeps so soundly,

He was born in a stable bare,

Let us worship and to Him bow.

Chorus 2

Now is born the divine Christ child,

Play the musette, play the tuneful oboe,

Now is born the divine Christ child,

Sing we all and rejoice this day.

Verse 3

Ages long since are past and gone,

When the wise men foretold

His coming,

Ages long since are past and gone,

When the wise men foretold His birth.

Chorus 4

Now is born the divine Christ child,

Play the musette, play the tuneful oboe,

Now is born the divine Christ child,

Sing we all and rejoice this day.
