Good Christian People All

lyricist: E. Haskins, 1888
Composer: Henry Trembath (1843–1908)

Good Christ­ian peo­ple all

A mer­ry Christ­mas day;

Hark how the bells do call!

Arise and come away!

Come see the won­drous thing

The an­gels’ lips re­veal!

And let the joy-bells ring

A wel­come to the new­born King

With a mer­ry

mer­ry Christ­mas peal

With a mer­ry Christ­mas peal

Noel! No­el! No­el!

Let all up­on the earth that dwell

Sing prais­es to Em­ma­nu­el:

Noel! No­el! No­el!

Oh

praise the King of Heav’n!

For on this bless­èd morn

To us a son is giv’n

To us a child is born!

Springs forth a fruit­ful rod

From Jes­se’s roy­al stem

And Christ

in­car­nate God

Is born at Beth­le­hem.

Enwrapt in swath­ing bands

And in a man­ger laid

Behold Him

by whose hands

The heav’ns and earth were made.
