They say that Christ was born tonight
In Witham Wood, in Witham Wood ;
They say that Christ was born tonight,
Tonight beyond the hill.
A rabbit shivers in the hedge.
The moon is white. The fields are still.
They say that Christ was born tonight,
Tonight beyond the hill,
Tonight beyond the hill.
Hodie, hodie Christus natus est.
He died for us amongst the thorns
In Witham Wood, in Witham Wood,
He died for us amongst the thorns
With holly in his hair.
So let us take the darkling road
And pick the red, red berries there;
He died for us amongst the thorns
with holly in his hair,
with holly in his hair.
Hodie, hodie salvator apparuit.
They say that Christ is near tonight,
In Witham Wood, in Witham Wood,
they say that Christ is near tonight
Tonight, beyond the snow;
So let us take the lanthorn-light
To see him crowned with mistletoe.
They say that Christ is near tonight
Tonight, beyond the snow,
Tonight, beyond the snow.
Hodie, hodie in terra canunt angeli, Alleluia.
