List our mer­ry carol,
On this bless­èd morn,
For our lov­ing Sav­ior
On Christ­mas day was born!
There so peace­ful sleep­ing,
Like a flow­er He lay;
Christ, our lov­ing Sav­ior,
Born on Christ­mas day;
Christ, our lov­ing Sav­ior,
Born on Christ­mas day.

Refrain

Carol, ca­rol gai­ly,
Carol on our way;
Christ, our lov­ing Sav­ior,
Born on Christ­mas day.

See, the star is beam­ing,
In the ra­di­ant east,
And the song of glo­ry
Never more hath ceased!
Banish all un­kind­ness,
Be of gen­tle will;
Angels ev­er near us
Carol to us still;
Angels ev­er near us
Carol to us still.

Refrain

Joyful, joy­ful, tid­ings
Break up­on the earth;
Sing the Sav­ior’s glo­ry,
Tell His won­drous worth!
Every hill and val­ley,
Clad in pure white snow;
Breathes a mer­ry carol,
Echoed sweet and low;
Breathes a mer­ry carol,
Echoed sweet and low.
