Christmas Song (Cannell)

Come now

and let us

once again

Twine wreaths of hol­ly and of hay;

And with glad hearts in lof­ty strain

Sing

Christ is born anew tod­ay.

Then loud and long we’ll raise the song

Our Christ is born anew to­day

Our Christ is born anew to­day.

As to the shep­herds on the plain

The voice of an­gels from on high

Bore the glad song

Good will to men

On earth let peace be ev­er nigh:

The peace of Heav’n to mor­tals giv’n

When Christ was born on Christ­mas day

When Christ was born on Christ­mas day.

To Him above

all glo­ry yield

Whose great­est gift has crowned our days;

And as we twine our Christ­mas wreath

We’ll weave there­in both love and praise:

Our hearts we’ll bring to Christ our king

Who’s born anew for us to­day

Who’s born anew for us to­day.
