12874. Christ Is Born

1 ’Tis merry, merry Christmas time!
The world with joy is clad;
Let all our happy voices chime,
And every heart be glad.

Refrain:
Raise your grateful voices high,
Let no heart be sad;
Christ is born, the great Messiah,
Let the world be glad.

2 All glory unto God, our king;
To Christ, His only Son;
Forever let His praises ring,
Redemption is begun. [Refrain]

3 All glory unto Christ, our Lord!
Who saves us thro’ His name;
Let Heav’n and earth, with one accord,
His praises loud proclaim. [Refrain]
