139. 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 for Christ, the newborn King, Noel!
Sing we Noel for Christ, the newborn King.
Sing we now of Christmas, let us sing Noel!

2 Angels called to shepherds, "Leave your flocks at rest,
Journey forth to Bethl'hem, find the child so blest." [Refrain]

3 In Bethlehem they found him; Joseph and Mary mild,
Seated by the manger, watching the holy child. [Refrain]

4 From the eastern country came the kings afar,
Bearing gifts to Bethl'hem, 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]
