[Verse 1]
Christ was born on Christmas Day
Wreathe the holly, twine the bay

[Refrain 1]
Christus natus hodie
The Babe, The Son, the Holy One of Mary

[Verse 2]
He is born to set us free
He is born our Lord to be

[Refrain 2]
Ex Maria Virgine
The God, the Lord, by all ador’d forever

[Verse 3]
Let the bright red berries glow
Ev’ry where in goodly show

[Refrain 1]
Christus natus hodie
The Babe, the Son, the Holy One of Mary

[Verse 4]
Christian men, rejoice and sing
‘Tis the birthday of a King
[Refrain 2]
Ex Maria Virgine
The God, the Lord, by all ador’d forever

[Chorus]
Sing out with bliss
His name is this: Immanuel!
As twas foretold in days of old
By Gabriel
