This day a child is born,
Offspring of God’s pure love,
True Word, the Ev­er­last­ing,
And Wis­dom from above!

Refrain

Noel, No­el, No­el!
All through the day we sing,
To greet the lov­ing Sav­ior,
Our pro­phet, priest and king.

This day is Je­sus born,
Made flesh the Son of Man,
Who erst did reign in glo­ry,
Before the world be­gan!

Refrain

This day a child is born,
Creator, King and Lord,
In ma­jes­ty all glo­ri­ous,
By Heav’n and earth ad­ored.

Refrain

This day the light has come,
Bright beam of peace and love,
Way, truth, and life, sure guid­ance,
To our blest home above!

Refrain

This day the Shep­herd came
To shep­herds in the field,
That we, His sheep, might find Him,
And He to death might yield.

Refrain

One day our judge will come,
And all shall hear His voice;
That day, sweet Je­sus, bid us,
With all Thy sheep, re­joice!
