1.
You that wont to my pipes sound,
Daintily to tread your ground,
Shepherds leave your pasture sweet
Lirum, lirum, lirum.
Here met together
in winter weather,
Hand in hand uniting,
The Holy Child come greet.
Lirum, lirum, lirum,
Lirum, lirum, lirum, lirum.

2.
Lo triumphing brave comes He,
All in pomp and Majesty,
Monarch of the world and King,
Lirum, lirum, lirum.
Let whoso list Him,
dare to resist Him,
We our voice uniting,
His praise shall ever sing.
Lirum, lirum, lirum,
Lirum, lirum, lirum, lirum.
