He was born in a stable bare

Representative Text

Refrain:
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.

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. [Refrain]

2 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. [Refrain]
