Christ Is Born, the Promised Savior

lyricist: F. E. Pettingell, 1890
Composer: John Kurzenknabe

Christ is born

the pro­mised Sav­ior

Heaven with joy­ous mu­sic rings;

Christ is born

the Lord’s an­oint­ed

Prince of peace and King of kings.

Hallelujah! Hal­le­lu­jah!

Round the earth the mes­sage send:

Hallelujah! Hal­le­lu­jah!

Never shall His king­dom end.

Though His in­fant head was cra­dled

In a man­ger of the khan

Angel hosts are His at­tend­ants

Son of God and Son of man.

Christ is born

O bless­èd sto­ry!

Ages old

yet ev­er new;

Christ is born

ex­tol

en­shrine Him

Give the King His right­ful due.
