Full Lyrics
1. Christ was born on Christmas Day
Wreathe the holly, twine the bay
Christus natus hodie
The Babe, The Son, the Holy One of Mary.
Refrain:
Glory, Alleluia!
God hath taken man's estatee
Banish'd is all fear and hate for evermore.
Open is the gate of life to all mankind.
Christ is come, let all adore.
2. He is born to set us free
He is born our Lord to be
Ex Maria Virgine
The God, the Lord, by all ador’d forever. refrain
3. Let the bright red berries glow
Ev’ry where in goodly show
Christus natus hodie
The Babe, the Son, the Holy One of Mary. refrain
4. Christian men, rejoice and sing
‘Tis the birthday of a King
Ex Maria Virgine
The God, the Lord, by all ador’d forever. refrain
