Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America ‎#32

32. Rejoice, rejoice this happy morn

Rejoice, rejoice this happy morn,
A Saviour unto us is born,
The Christ, the Lord of glory;
His lowly birth in Bethlehem
The angels from on high proclaim,
And sing redemption's story;
My soul, extol
God's great favor, bless him ever,
For salvation
Give him praise and adoration.
