Tell your joyful news today.

On the lonely mountain steep?

There appeared a wondrous light;
Angels singing 'Peace on earth'
Told us of the Savior's birth."

Come one and all, to own Him.
The King of kings salvation brings;
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.

On a cold winter's night that was so deep.

Born is the King of Israel.

Shining in the east beyond them far,
And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it continued both day and night. [Refrain]
3 And by the light of that same star,
Three wise men came from country far;
To seek for a King was their intent,
And to follow the star wherever it went. [Refrain]
4 This star drew nigh to the northwest;
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest;
And there it did both stop and stay,
Right over the place where Jesus lay. [Refrain]
5 Then entered in those wise men three,
Full reverently upon the knee,
And offered there, in His presence,
Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense. [Refrain]
6 Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord;
That hath made Heaven and earth of naught,
And with His blood our life hath bought. [Refrain]

Radiant beams from Thy holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace,

Wondrous star, lend thy light;
With the angels let us sing,

Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh,

Durch der Engel Alleluja
Tönt es laut von fern und nah:
Christ der Retter ist da,

Da uns schlägt die rettende Stund’,
