Baptist Hymnal 2008 ‎#197

197. Sing We Now of Christmas

1 Sing we now of Christmas,
Noel, sing we here!
Hear our grateful praises
to the Babe so dear.

Chorus:
Sing we Noel,
the King is born, Noel!
Sing we now of Christmas,
sing we now Noel!

2 Angels called to shepherds,
"Leave your flocks at rest;
Journey forth to Bethlehem,
find the Lambkin blest." [Chorus]

3 In the stall they found Him;
Joseph and Mary mild
Seated 'round the manger,
watching the holy Child. [Chorus]

4 From the eastern country
came the kings afar,
Bearing gifts to Bethlehem,
guided by a star. [Chorus]

5 Gold and myrrh they took there,
gifts of greatest price;
There was ne'er a stable
so like paradise. [Chorus]
