108. O holy Child, we welcome Thee

1 O holy Child, we welcome Thee,
And sing Thy praise in tuneful lays,
And sing thy praise in tuneful lays.

2 O holy Child, we see Thy face
Aglow with light, like sunbeams bright,
Aglow with light, like sunbeams bright.

3 O blest the house that bids Thee stay;
For all is well where Thou dost dwell,
For all is well where Thou dost dwell.
