Christ the Lord Is Born

Once again the Christ­mas bells have brought us

Tidings of good will and peace;

Once again the an­gel lips have taught us

Music that shall nev­er cease.

Over all the world the song is sound­ing

Ringing in the hap­py morn—

Glory! glo­ry! Christ the Lord is born.

Night of joy

when the star shone out ab­ove

Night of joy when the world re­ceived that gift of love;

Oh

night of joy! and tri­umph­ant gold­en morn;

Glory! glo­ry! Christ the Lord is born.

Many years have passed since first the sto­ry

Echoed over Beth­le­hem’s plain;

Still we see the star in all its glo­ry

Still we hear the sweet re­frain.

Everywhere we find glad voic­es sing­ing

Welcome to His na­tal morn—

Glory! glo­ry! Christ the Lord is born.
