The Birthday of Our King (Bennett)

Unto God be high­est glo­ry

And on earth good will to men

Since the Prince of Peace is born;

Tell afar the won­drous sto­ry

Sing Re­demp­tion’s song again

On this fes­tal Christ­mas morn.

Merry Christ­mas

mer­ry Christ­mas

Merry Christ­mas

mer­ry Christ­mas.

Hallelujah! Joy­ful prais­es now we bring.

’Tis the birth­day of our king

And with an­gels we will sing

Glory to His name

Amen.

Now with hap­py hearts and voic­es

We to Christ our trib­ute bring

On this bless­èd Christ­mas day;

In His light the world re­joic­es

While the bells of Heav­en ring

And the sha­dows roll away.

Let all na­tions join the chor­us

Of the ev­er­last­ing song

That the heav’n­ly min­strels sing;

God’s eter­nal love is o’er us

Shout for joy

O earth­ly throng

’Tis the birth­day of our king.
