“He Is Born, The Holy Child” or “Il est né, le divin Enfant” is a traditional French Christmas carol. The author and translator are unknown, but has been revived through this rendition as performed by the French Peas (voiced by Phil Vischer, Mike Nawrocki, and Chris Olsen).
[Intro: Jean-Claude, Philippe, and Christoffe]
Are you ready, Jean-Claude?
I am ready; are you, Philippe?
Oh-ho, you know I am
Oh-ho! You were born ready, no?
Here it goes!
[Verse 1]
He is born, the holy Child
Play the oboe and bagpipes merrily
He is born, the holy Child
Sing we all of the Savior mild
[Refrain]
Through long ages of the past
Prophets have foretold His coming
Through long ages of the past
Now the time has come at last
[Verse 2]
O how lovely, O how pure
Is this perfect Child of heaven
O how lovely, O how pure
Gracious gift of God to man
[Refrain]
Through long ages of the past
Prophets have foretold His coming
Through long ages of the past
Now the time has come at last
[Verse 3]
Jesus, Lord of all the world
Coming as a Child among us
Jesus, Lord of all the world
Grant us all Thy heavenly peace
[Interlude: Jean-Claude, Philippe, and Christoffe]
That was some beautiful singing, boys!
Thank you, Jean-Claude!
And Philippe: nice voice
I enjoyed the fiddle very much
Hey, get off my foot
[Instrumental Break]
Woo Hoo!
[Verse 1]
He is born, the holy Child
Play the oboe and bagpipes merrily
He is born, the holy Child
Sing we all of the Savior mild
[Outro: Jean-Claude, Philippe, and Christoffe]
