Christ Is Born Today

lyricist: Mary Kidder, 1879
Composer: Chester Allen

Glory in the high­est

glo­ry!

Saints and an­gels praise the morn;

Shout ho­san­na

tell the sto­ry

Christ the Lord of life is born.

In the man­ger He is sleep­ing;

Scarce we hear His gen­tle breath;

Yet

O glo­ry

hal­le­lu­jah!

He hath come to save from death;

Yet

O glo­ry

hal­le­lu­jah!

He hath come to save from death.

Praise Him

praise Him ev­ery na­tion!

On this hap­py fest­ive morn;

Praise the Rock of our sal­va­tion

Christ the Lord of life is born.

He who trod the way be­fore us

Bore for us re­proach and scorn

See His ban­ner wav­ing o’er us

Christ our lov­ing Sav­ior born.

Glory in the high­est

glo­ry!

Hail the Sav­ior’s na­tal morn;

Saints and an­gels tell the sto­ry

Christ the Lord of life is born.
