Hail, hail the beautiful morn -- O see the lovely angels -- Hear ye, hear ye -- Sweetest music softly stealing -- Come let us hail this blissful day -- This is a pleasant Christmas Day -- Brethren and sisters let us sing -- Tis the gift to be simple -- In love and sweet union -- When Christ was of a Virgin born -- While once in Judah's lovely land -- Blessed season of devotion -- Glory unto God we'll sing -- I hear the sweet sound of an angel song -- We have found the promised Saviour -- I hear a voice -- Hail the memorable morn -- The Prince of Peace is come -- Since we are called to liberty -- Low, low! In this pretty path I will go -- O the blessed revelation -- This is Jesus' birthday -- Awake for the angels are gath'ring near -- Brightly beameth the star of hope -- To all the good children, a happy New Year -- I love to play and skip around -- The Birthday of Jesus -- O hearken listen to the sound -- Give me the treasure that cannot be sold -- O brighter than the morning star -- Step tune -- Our blessed Saviour's humble birth -- A New Year -- Listen! while we join with angels -- Low within the vale -- Give good gifts to one another -- With precious gifts -- Fear not, for behold. |
