This Is the Happy Christmas Morn

This is the hap­py Christ­mas morn

This is the day the Christ was born;

Loud let the song of tri­umph ring;

Hosanna to our Sav­ior King!

Joy to the world

the Lord has come!

Prepare the ho­ly Christ-child room;

Lo

see

the Day-star dawn­eth bright!

O bless­èd Star

be Thou our light!

Thou heav’n­ly Guide

with us abide! Amen.

Let Heav’n and earth with glad­ness ring!

The Sav­ior comes

the new-born King!

Behold Him in a man­ger laid

Sweet Babe

in swad­dling clothes ar­rayed:

He

the eter­nal Word of grace

Comes down to save our fall­en race.

Let earth re­joice in high­est strains!

Glory to God

Mes­si­ah reigns!

In Him con­fide

whate’er be­tide! Amen.

Bright an­gel choirs in glit­ter­ing train

With grand ho­san­nas sweep the plain;

And un­to hum­ble shep­herds bring

Good news of Christ

the heav­en­ly King.

O lov­ing Sav­ior of our race

In whom the rich and poor find grace;

We’ll spread Thy Gos­pel’s cheer­ing ray!

Thou art the Life

the Truth

the Way:

Thyself ac­cord to us

O Lord! Amen
