I can hear the children singing
Songs of joy on Christmas Day;
All the happy sounds are winging
Jesus Christ was born to stay!
Angel choirs, in highest heaven,
Sing their praise to God above;
All the Christmas bells are ringing,
Messages of joy and love.
In a manger, in a stable,
He came down from heav’n to earth;
And the star that shone so brightly
Told the world of Jesus’ birth.
Shepherds in the fields were watching,
As their sheep lay down to rest;
When the angel came upon them,
By his news they were rich blest.
Then they hurried off to worship,
As did kings from lands afar;
They were led to that poor stable,
By the brilliance of the star.
Ox and ass looked on in wonder
At the infant there that night;
Son of God, come down from heaven,
Bringing to the world new light.
Now the sounds of voices singing,
Of the Life, the Truth, the Way,
Join the joyful church bells ringing
Out the news on Christmas Day!
O such happy sounds are winging,
Jesus Christ was born to stay;
Hear the joyful children singing
Songs of joy on Christmas Day!
