Our Christmas Song

lyricist: Birdie Bell, 1897
Composer: Howard Entwisle

Dear Sav­ior

as we come to­day

To car­ol forth Thy prais­es sweet

In joy­ous song

we hum­bly pray

Be pre­sent with us as we meet.

All glo­ry to our God on high!

Peace and good will from Heav’n He sends;

Good tid­ings

good tid­ings

Of that great joy which nev­er ends.

In ag­es past a ra­di­ant host

In heav’n­ly strains the birth pro­claimed

Of Him who came to save the lost

To heal the blind

the halt

the maimed.

But now in feeb­ler lay we greet

The dawn­ing of fair Christ­mas morn;

We pour our trea­sures at Thy feet

And swell the chor­us

Christ is born!

The Lord is come

Earth glad­ly cries

With joy ring out the chimes so clear!

Now wakes the an­them of the skies

The Sav­ior of the world is here!
