CHRISTUS NATUS HODIE
Up! Good Christian Folk and Listen

LYRICS

Christus natus, Christus natus,
Christus natus hodie

1. Up! good Christen folk, and listen
How the merry church bells ring,
And from steeple
Bid good people
Come adore the new-born King:

Born of mother, blest o’er other,
Ex Maria Virgine,
In a stable (‘tis no fable),
Christus natus hodie.

2. Tell the story how from glory
God came down at Christmastide,
Bringing gladness,
Chasing sadness,
Show’ring blessings far and wide.

Born of mother, blest o’er other,
Ex Maria Virgine,
In a stable (‘tis no fable),
Christus natus hodie.

3. So good Christian folk now gather
Join in one uplifting song.
Hearts and minds
with voices blending
In a carol bold and strong

Born of mother, blest o’er other,
Ex Maria Virgine,
In a stable (‘tis no fable),
Christus natus, Christus natus,
Christus natus hodie
