Christ is Born

It is "He", Christ who is born today  
See Him crying in the manger  
King of Heaven Son of God  
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!  

 There He lies there with the lam'kin  
Only swaddle for his garment  
With his Holy Mother Mary  
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!  

Glory, Glory, Almighty God!  
And on Earth,
Peace to All Men  
Hear the joyful angels singing  
 Hallelujah! Hallelujah! 

He is born, let us adore Him 
Christ the Lord King of Kings 
Prince of Peace for 
All the Universe 
 Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
