Celebrating Grace Hymnal ‎#137

137. Sing We Now of Christmas

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

Refrain:
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." [Refrain]

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

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

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