Christmas! O How Sweet and Holy

Christmas! O how sweet and ho­ly

Rings thy mes­sage gent­ly mild

For all men

both old and child.

Now re­joice in Him

who low­ly

Came to earth from Heav­en’s throne

Mary’s child and God’s own Son.

Jesus

Je­sus

Thou shalt be

Christmas gift and joy to me.

Wondrous light shines down from Heav­en

Angels stir the she­pherds’ rest

With a mes­sage

great and blest

How at last to us is giv­en

He

whom God pro­claimed of old

Christ the Lord we now be­hold.

Peace shall reign and bless each na­tion

Glory be to God on high

Mercy and good will come nigh

Now on earth

to bring sal­va­tion

Unto men from Heav’n ab­ove

By that won­drous deed of love.
