Good Chris­tian peo­ple all,
A mer­ry Christ­mas day;
Hark how the bells do call!
Arise and come away!

Refrain

Come see the won­drous thing
The an­gels’ lips re­veal!
And let the joy-bells ring
A wel­come to the new­born King,
With a mer­ry, mer­ry Christ­mas peal,
With a mer­ry Christ­mas peal,
Noel! No­el! No­el!
Let all up­on the earth that dwell,
Sing prais­es to Em­ma­nu­el:
Noel! No­el! No­el!

Oh, praise the King of Heav’n!
For on this bless­èd morn
To us a son is giv’n,
To us a child is born!

Refrain

Springs forth a fruit­ful rod
From Jes­se’s roy­al stem,
And Christ, in­car­nate God,
Is born at Beth­le­hem.

Refrain

Enwrapt in swath­ing bands,
And in a man­ger laid,
Behold Him, by whose hands
The heav’ns and earth were made.
