Christians, Listen, While We Sing

Christians

list­en

while we sing

(Dark

be­fore the dawn­ing)

As it was com­mand­ed them

On this Christ­mas morn­ing.

In a man­ger of the stall

(Dark

be­fore the dawn­ing)

There they found the Lord of all

On this Christ­mas morn­ing.

There they found the mo­ther mild

(Dark

be­fore the dawn­ing)

Gazing on her new­born child

On this Christ­mas morn­ing.

Christian

art thou far from ill?

(Dark

be­fore the dawn­ing)

He will make thee hap­pi­er still

On this Christ­mas morn­ing.

Is an hour of sor­row near?

(Dark

be­fore the dawn­ing)

He will wipe away the tear

On this Christ­mas morn­ing.

Blessings rest on all with­in!

(Dark

be­fore the dawn­ing)

Newer life

and hopes be­gin

On this Christ­mas morn­ing.

Praise we then our Sav­ior king;

(Dark

be­fore the dawn­ing)

As the an­gels once did sing

On this Christ­mas morn­ing:

Glory be to God on high

(Dark

be­fore the dawn­ing)

Peace on earth and char­ity

On this Christ­mas morn­ing.
