1 Tidings, people, take good heed!
Turn ye not away!
Child of promise, King indeed,
Christ is born today!

Refrain:
Therefore let all people sing,
Welcome be our heav’nly King!
Welcome, welcome,
Welcome, welcome,
Welcome be our King!

2 This is true: be not afraid!
Wonderful to tell;
In a manger He is laid—
Angels sing Nowell! [Refrain]

3 This has been the hope of man,
This the faith of old;
Since the very world began,
This has been foretold: [Refrain]
