1 Our happy hearts again unite
To greet this blessed morn,
With songs of praise to crown the day
That Bethlehem’s King was born.

Refrain:
Singing, we’re singing,
With hearts that are happy and gay,
Praising our Savior,
This wonderful, wonderful day.

2 Although within a manger-bed,
A helpless babe He lay,
With hand of might and heart of love,
He rules the world today. [Refrain]

3 His name shall be upon our lips,
With joy our songs shall ring;
His wond’rous love shall be our theme,
Our Lord, our glorious King. [Refrain]
