1 Now every child that dwells on earth,
Stand up, stand up and sing:
The passing night has given birth
Unto the children's King.
Sing sweet as the flute,
Sing clear as the horn,
Sing joy of the children,
Come Christmas the morn:
Little Christ Jesus,
Little Christ Jesus,
Little Christ Jesus
Our brother is born.
Little Christ Jesus,
Little Christ Jesus,
Little Christ Jesus,
Our brother is born.
2 Now all the children of the lord,
Rise up on Christmas Even:
the passing night will hear the Word
That is the voice of heaven,
Sing sweet as the flute,
Sing clear as the horn,
Sing joy of the angels,
Come, Christmas the morn:
Little Christ Jesus,
Little Christ Jesus,
Little Christ Jesus
Our brother is born.
Little Christ Jesus,
Little Christ Jesus,
Little Christ Jesus,
Our brother is born.
