Shepherds heard the glad refrain
On the early Advent morn,
And we join the heavenly strain:
Jesus Christ, the Lord, is born!
Refrain
The good tidings proclaim,
Christ is born! Christ is born!
Till the world shall believe in His name;
Christ is born! Christ is born!
As the wise men haste to meet,
And their costly presents give,
So we come the Christ to greet;
He our best gifts shall receive.
Refrain
Glory in the highest
sing,
Peace on earth, good will to men
;
Let the bells of gladness ring,
Christ is born, Savior of men!
Refrain
Jesus Christ shall save from sin;
Praise Him on this Advent morn!
Let Him be enthroned within!
Christ is born! the Christ is born!
