Tidings, glad tid­ings un­to the world,
Tidings that an­gels loud­ly pro­claim,
Judea’s plains the mes­sage have heard:
Jesus is come to reign.

Refrain

Shepherds shout upon the dist­ant plain,
Angels send the ec­ho back again;
List to the cho­rus, what does it say?
Jesus, Je­sus, Je­sus is born to­day.

Low in a man­ger, low in a stall,
See where the in­fant Sav­ior is born,
Maker and mon­arch, Sav­ior of all,
Know ye this Christ­mas morn!

Refrain

Let ev­ery heart beat glad and rejoice;
Let every soul be hap­py today.
Join in the cho­rus, each, every voice,
Spread wide the cheer­ing ray.
