Christmas Morning (Johnson)

We wish you all a hap­py day

This beau­ti­ful Christ­mas morn­ing!

So bright­ly shines the sun’s clear ray

This beau­ti­ful Christ­mas morn­ing!

For this was the morn when the Day Star rose

To light the way from all our woes

And heav­en­ly light and joy dis­close

One beau­ti­ful Chris­tmas morn­ing.

A mer­ry Christ­mas to you all

This beau­ti­ful Chris­tmas morn­ing!

Good will to men

the an­gels’ call

One beau­ti­ful Chris­tmas morn­ing!

And who should be mer­ry and glad to­day

But those whose guilt is washed away?

With plea­sure

we hail thy peace­ful ray

O beau­ti­ful Chris­tmas morn­ing.

On Beth­l’hem’s plains the she­pherds watched

One beau­ti­ful Chris­tmas morn­ing!

Where si­lent lay the slum­ber­ing flock

That beau­ti­ful Chris­tmas morn­ing!

When sud­den­ly all the bright an­gel throng

Sang in the sky

their Christ­mas song

Sang Glory to God

good will to men!

That beau­ti­ful Chris­tmas morn­ing.

On Beth­l’hem’s plains we can­not lie

This beau­ti­ful Chris­tmas morn­ing!

Nor view the angel host on high

This beau­ti­ful Chris­tmas morn­ing!

But joy­ful­ly we our sweet of­fer­ing bring

Of praise

to hail the new­born King

In Beth­le­hem born

His praise we sing

This beau­ti­ful Chris­tmas morn­ing.
