16431. Carol, Merrily Carol!

1 Carol, mer­ri­ly car­ol!
O car­ol a song of love!
To Je­sus, our in­fant Sa­vior,
The bless­èd One from ab­ove.
Carol, cheer­ily car­ol!
Yes, car­ol a song of praise,
To Him in the low­ly man­ger
A song of thanks­giv­ing raise.
To Him in the low­ly man­ger
A song of thanks­giv­ing raise.

2 Carol, mer­ri­ly car­ol!
O car­ol that name so dear—
All beau­ti­ful name of Je­sus;
’Tis mu­sic to mor­tal ear.
Carol, cheer­ily car­ol!
Yes, car­ol of Heav’n’s bright ray;
The glo­ry of Christ ap­pear­eth;
All dark­ness hath passed away;
The glory of Christ ap­pear­eth;
All darkness hath passed away.

3 Carol, mer­ri­ly car­ol!
O car­ol the ang­el lay,
"All glo­ry to God in Heav­en,
The Sav­ior is born to­day."
Carol, cheer­ily car­ol!
Yes, car­ol of Christ the Lord;
Let an­gels and men for­ev­er
Sound forth the tri­um­phant word;
Let an­gels and men for­ev­er
Sound forth the tri­ump­hant word.
