80. Christmas Carol

1 Joy! joy! joy! Come sing with us the story
Of Christ, the Lord of glory,
Born on Christmas morning;
Immanuel is his name,
From heav'n to earth he came
On this Christmas morning.

Chorus:
Joyfully, joyfully, sing the song,
Merrily, merrily, loud and long,
This song of Christmas morning.

2 List! list! list! the little lambs were sleeping,
While shepherds round were keeping
Watch on Christmas morning;
When lo! a light is seen,
Their eyes the shepherds screen
On this Christmas morning. [Chorus]

3 Hark! hark! hark! An angel choir is singing,
And nearer earth is bringing
Joy on Christmas morning;
The shepherds quake with fear,
And, kneeling, gather near
On this Christmas morning. [Chorus]

4 List! list! list! An angel now comes near them,
And cautiously they greet him
On this Christmas morning;
Glad tidings of great joy
I bring without alloy,
On this Christmas morning. [Chorus]

5 Look! look! look! So suddenly around them
The heavenly hosts are shouting,
On this Christmas morning;
They sing of peace and love,
Good will from heaven above,
On this Christ morning. [Chorus]

6 Shout! shout! shout! In songs both loud and joyous,
All swell the happy chorus,
On this Christmas morning;
For Christ the Lord is King,
Let earth his praises bring
On this Christmas morning. [Chorus]
