Text: | Christ Was Born on Christmas Day |
Tune: | RESONET IN LAUDIBUS |
Composer (melody): | Ralph Vaughan Williams, 1872-1958 |
1 Christ was born on Christmas day:
Wreathe the holly, twine the bay,
Christus natus Hodie:
The Babe, the Son, the Holy One of Mary.
2 He is born on set us free,
He is born our Lord to be,
Ex Maria Virgine:
The God, the Lord, by all adored for ever.
3 Let the bright red berries glow
Everywhere in goodly show:
Christus Natur Hodie:
The Babe, the Son, the Holy One of Mary.
4 Christians all, rejoice and sing,
'Tis the birthday of a King,
Ex Maria Virgine:
The God, the Lord, by all adored for ever.
