Come, our Father's voice is calling

Hail, Sweet Babe, So Pure and Holy

Hail, sweet Babe, so pure and holy!
Hail, fair Son of Mary blest!
Royal Infant in a manger,
Thou art gently laid to rest.
Filled with awe and tender rapture,
Tears of joy Thy mother weeps,
Through the night Thy foster father
By Thee faithful vigil keeps.
