Christmas Day Song

Blessèd song that the throng

Of re­joic­ing an­gels brought

From the heav’n­ly choirs ab­ove

And to Ju­dah’s shep­herds taught;

Peace on earth

Christ is born

Hail the first glad Christ­mas morn

Glory to God in the high­est.

Peace on earth

’tis mer­cy’s plan

Glory to God

good will to man

Ever sing while you bring

On each hap­py Christ­mas day

Your hearts un­to Him an of­fer­ing.

Angels knew

God was true

At His pro­mised Sav­ior’s birth

Glad to tell the news they flew

To the wait­ing sons of earth;

Then may we hap­py be

We

whom Je­sus came to free

While we re­peat their sweet chor­us.

Banish care and des­pair

While we keep this fes­tal day

Every grate­ful heart pre­pare

Loving thanks and praise to pay;

Every tear

ev­ery fear

Of the past and pass­ing year

Forget and sing with the an­gels.

Let us now hum­bly bow

At the in­fant Sav­ior’s feet

Here re­cord our sol­emn vow

That no oth­er king we’ll greet;

Him we crown

Him we own

Savior

king and Lord alone

Jesus! the glo­ry of an­gels.
