What Is the Message?

lyricist: Emma Pitt, 1890
Composer: Charles Pollock

What is the mes­sage that comes with the morn­ing?

Peace be on earth

and good will to­ward men.

Happy the tid­ings

how hap­py the tid­ings!

Sing the sweet mes­sage

re­peat it again.

Sing the sweet mes­sage that comes with the morn­ing

Peace be on earth

and good will to­ward men.

Great is the chor­us

the won­der­ful chor­us

Singing in Heav­en the hap­py re­frain.

Joy to the world on this bright fes­tal sea­son;

Joy to the world

the Re­deem­er has come;

Sing out His prais­es in glad hal­le­lu­jahs

Glory to God

our Re­deem­er has come!

Yonder in Beth­l’em

the land of Ju­dea

Humble and low­ly the Sav­ior was laid.

Greet Him in tri­umph

O greet Him in tri­umph!

Dwelling with an­gels in glo­ry ar­rayed.
