A hymn we raise while glad bells o’er us chime;
We sing the wondrous glories of our Lord;
Our voices blend with glad refrains in sweet accord.
Refrain:
All praise to Christ our king; His love forever sing;
In fervent adoration our hearts unite;
His rule o’er earth proclaim; exalt His holy name
And hail again with happy song the holy night.
2 The hours, so fleet, are filled with thoughts of love;
Good will and peace sent down from Heav’n above;
Our friends we meet with smiles and words of cheer;
A golden day of cherished memories ends the year. [Refrain]
3 Around our hearts its spirit weaves a spell;
"Farewell," we say, "in all things fare thee well."
May all we love have showers of blessings rare
And in the joy of many Christmas festals share. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Before we part again this happy time]
Hail The Holy Night
