Native speaker’s answer

Rebecca

In this scene, the speaker (Linus) is quoting a verse from the King James Version of the Bible. "Lo" is an exclamation used to draw attention to an amazing event. Since this version of The Bible was written in the early 1600s in England, it is not a word used in modern English.
