Sing. Sing for Christmas.
Sing, sing for Christmas,
Welcome, happy day!
For Christ is born our Saviour,
To take our sins away.
Sing, sing joyful song,
Loud and clear to-day;
To praise our Lord and Saviour,
Who in the manager lay.
CHoRUs.-Sing, Sing for Christmas,
Welcome happy day,
For Christ is born our saviour,
To take our sins away.
Tell, tell the story
Of the wOnurOuS night.
When shepherds who were watching
Their tiOcks till morning light.
Saw angel hosts from heav'n,
Heard the angel voice,
And so were told the tidngS,
Which makes the world rejoice.
Soft, softly shining,
Stars were in the sky,
And silver fell the moonlight
On hill and mountain high.
When suddenly the night
Outshone the bright midday,
With angel hosts who herald
The reign of peace for aye.
Hark, hear them singing,
Singing in the sky,
And praise TO God on high!
Peace, peace, goodwill to men
Born the Child from heaven,
The Christ, the Lord, the saviour,
The Son TO you is given.
Sing, sing for Christmas
Echo, earth, the cry
or worship, honor, glory.
And praise 70 God on high.
Sing, sing the joyful song,
Let it never cease,
OF glory i'll the highest,
On earth goodwill and peace.
Ring Out the Bells.
Ring out the bells for Christmas,
The happy, happy day,
In winter wild, the Holy Child
Within the cradle lay.
Oh. wonderful, the Saviour
Is in u manger lone;
His palace is 81 stable,
And Mary's arm His throne.
CHoRUs.-Ring out the bells for Christmas,
The happy, happy day,
Ring out the bells for Christmas,
The happy. happy day.
On Dethlekem's quiet hillside,
In ages long gone by,
In angel notes the glory floats,
Glory to God on high.
Yet makes the sun as Joyous
As when the Lord was born,
And still He comes to greet you
On every Christmas morn.
Where e'er His sweet lambs gather
Within the gentle fold,
The Saviour dear is waiting near,
AS in the days OF old:
In each young heart you see Him,
In every guileleSs face,
You see the Holy Jesus,
Who grew in truth and grace.
In many a darksome cottage,
In many a crowded street,
In winter bleak, with shivering cheek,
The homeless child you meet;
Gaze on the pale wan features,
The teet with wandering sore,
You see the souls He loveth,
The Christ-child at the door.
Then sing your gladstone carols,
And hail the new born Sun:
For Christmas light is passing bright,
In smiles on every one.
And feast Christ's little children,
His poor, His orphan call;
For He who chose the manager,
He loveth one and all,
We've Decked the Church witt
Cedar.
We've dected the church with cedar,
And holly branches gay,
We've wreathed the shining laurel
Round font and pillars grey;
And now we come right gladly
To join the angels strain,
Of peace on earth, and glory
To God again.
CHoRUs.-A merry, merry Christmas,
The church bells ring,
A joyful, joyful Christmas,
We children sing
For Christ was born at Christmas
Our Saviour King.
On that first blessed Christmas
The wise men we've been told,
Brought gifts to the Child Jesus,
Myrrh, frankincenSe and gold;
And we, though little children,
Have love as deep as they,
And long to bring some Offering
This Christmas day,
We have no gold to bring Him,
No spices rare and sweet,
But He doth call the children,
So, kneeling at His feet
Well give ourselves, dear Jesus,
And earnestly We'll pray
To be kept very faithful
Fen from to-day.
