Happy Words of Cheer

lyricist: Eliza Hewitt, 1915
Composer: Charles Maskell

On that ho­ly night when the an­gels bright

Sang in­car­nate love in the sky ab­ove

Lowly shep­herds heard that im­mor­tal word

Joy to all the world

won­der­ful word!

Happy words of cheer

speed them on!

Angel-song now pro­long;

Happy words of cheer

speed them on!

Lift ex­ult­ant praise

hope­ful and strong;

Magnify our king

Sav­ior king;

Go and tell

glad­ly tell

His re­deem­ing love

beau­ti­ful sto­ry

Let all the world joy­ful­ly sing.

As the shep­herds sped to the man­ger bed

There to see the Child pure and un­de­filed

Haste to Him to­day while the an­gels say

Joy to all the world

won­der­ful day!

When we seek our king

trea­sure let us bring

Willing gifts of love to the Lord ab­ove;

And again we sing

while the ech­oes ring

Joy to all the world

Je­sus is king.
