1. Praise to the boy, little boy
came sweetly to us long ago in a shed
Where His weary mother lay
and the sheep sang high
and the cattle low
and the peaceful doves sang:
Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Hodie!
2. Welcome the boy, welcome boy!
brought peace on earth one quiet night
to a village where no welcome waited
And the stars rang high
And the stones hummed 'Lo!'
and the wind in the eaves sighed:
Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Hodie!
3. Come to the boy Christ child!
Life ever lasting, His gift from a father
Heavenly and tender
Shepherds cry 'Hie!'
Wise men bow low
and the choirs of the Lord carol
Holy! Holy! Hosanna! Hosanna! Hodie!
