59 Christ the Lord to Us Is Born
1 Christ the Lord to us is born,
Alleluia!
On this joyous Christmas morn,
Alleluia!
Refrain:
Of a virgin lowly,
He, the King most holy,
Born this day to save us.
2 Prophesied in days of old,
Alleluia!
God has sent him as foretold,
Alleluia!
3 Our poor human form he took,
Alleluia!
Realms of heaven he forsook,
Alleluia!
4 God has saved us through his Son,
Alleluia!
Conquered lies the evil one,
Alleluia!
