HAIL! HOLY BABE
HAIL! Holy Babe of Bethlehem,
All hail to Thee!
Right joyously our hearts exclaim,
O Jesu mi!
My God, what brought Thee from above,
A man to be?
What other than a burning love,
O Jesu mi!
A child to us is born this day,
O happy we!
And ours be now Thy praise to say,
O Jesu mi!
But love with love we must repay,
So tenderly;
With Mary, Joseph, let us pray,
O Jesu mi!
