Long Years Ago, on Christmas Morn

Long years ago

on Christ­mas morn

The Sav­ior of man­kind was born;

And an­gels car­oled at His birth

Good will to men; peace on the earth.

Now af­ter years of gloom and strife

The Christ Child brings us love and life

Bids hat­red end and war­fare cease

In world-wide bro­ther­hood and peace.

O Holy Child

this Christ­mas morn

Once more with­in our hearts be born.

Blest an­gels

chant your songs again

On earth be peace

good­will to men.
