[Refrain:]
He is born, the divine Christ Child,
play the oboe and bagpipes merrily!
He is born, the holy Child,
sing we all of the Savior mild.

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!

2 O how lovely, O how pure
is this perfect Child of heaven;
O how lovely, O how pure
gracious gift of God sent down.

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.

[French:]
Il est né, le divin Enfant,
jouez hautbois, rèsonnez musettes!
Il est né, le divin Enfant,
chantons tous son avènement!
