O ancient heaven above
Wherein His infinite love
So God the holy plan ordained
The might of glory so restrained

Behold the babe!
Behold his face!
The holy face
The living God!

O Mary you are blessed
She chosen o’er the rest
Your glorious womb in which he lay
Such honour placed upon your name

Behold the babe!
Behold his face!
The holy face
The living God!

O chosen Bethlehem
Your gates to welcome them
What lowly manger where he sleeps
What lovely gift you did receive

Behold the babe!
Behold his face!
The holy face
The living God!

O void of night-time sky
The black has turned to light
Within your bounds the angels sing
A sea of heavenly voices ring

Behold the babe!
Behold his face!
The holy face
The living God!

Behold The Babe
