The Babe of Bethlehem (Pitt)

Hark! the Christ­mas bells are peal­ing

Carols to the ear­ly morn;

List! the echo o’er me steal­ing

Unto you a Savior’s born.

Shout ho­san­na

chant His prais­es!

Hallelujahs to Him sing.

Lo! the east­ern star pro­claims it

Christ is born—be­hold your king!

Hallelujah! hal­le­lu­jah! Hall1elujah!

To Christ the new­born King!

Hallelujah! hal­le­lu­jah! Hallelujah!

Unto Him your trib­ute bring!

Hallelujah! hal­le­lu­jah!

Hallelujah! hal­le­lu­jah!

Hark! there comes from heav’n­ly voic­es

Peace on earth

good will to men;

List! the an­gel host re­joic­es

’Tis the Babe of Beth­le­hem!

In the lone­ly

hum­ble man­ger

Angels guard Him from the sky

Singing as they hov­er ov­er Him

Glory be to God on high.

See! the shep­herds come ad­or­ing

Him of whom the an­gels sang;

Worshiping they fall be­fore Him

As their hal­le­lu­jahs rang!

Hasten ev­ery tribe and na­tion

Unto Him your trib­utes bring;

Rendering the heart’s obla­tion

Praise your Sav­ior

Lord and king!
