lyricist: John Egar, 1874

Sing

sing for Christ­mas!

Welcome

hap­py day!

For Christ is born our Sav­ior

To take our sins away.

Sing

sing a joy­ful song

Loud and clear to­day;

To praise our Lord and Sav­ior

Who in a man­ger lay.

Sing

sing for Christ­mas

Welcome

hap­py day!

For Christ is born our Sav­ior

To take our sins away.

Tell

tell the sto­ry

Of the won­drous night

When shep­herds who were watch­ing

Their flocks till morn­ing light

Saw an­gel hosts from Heav’n

Heard the an­gel voice

And so were told the tid­ings

Which make the world re­joice.

Soft

soft­ly shin­ing

Stars were in the sky

And sil­ver fell the moon­light

On hill and mount­ain high

When sud­den­ly the night

Shone as bright mid­day

With an­gel hosts who her­ald

The reign of peace for aye.

Hark

hear them sing­ing

Singing in the sky

Be wor­ship

hon­or

glo­ry

And praise to God on high!

Peace

peace

good­will to men

Born the Child from Heav’n!

The Christ

the Lord

the Sav­ior

The Son to you is giv’n!

Sing

sing for Christ­mas!

Echo

earth

the cry

Of wor­ship

hon­or

glo­ry

And praise to God on high!

Sing

sing the joy­ful song

Let it nev­er cease

Of glo­ry in the high­est

On earth

good will and peace.
