The Invitation

Teachers

Jesus once lay in the man­ger

Little ones

for you and me;

Holy an­gels stood in won­der

Thus the Lord of life to see.

From the star­ry heights of Heav­en

Music float­ed all around;

And the theme to man was giv­en

Peace on earth! O joy­ful sound!

Children

Joyful sound! our hap­py voic­es

Gladly join the sweet re­frain

Jesus came

and earth re­joic­es

In the bless­èd Sav­ior’s name.
