  1. The happy day at last has dawned
    Long awaited by all kindred
    When the promised Saviour appears
    Here on earth in human form.

  2. Shepherds in the fields abiding
    Watching over their flocks by night
    First e'er, the glad tidings were told
    Glad tidings of the Saviour's birth

  3. Angel's God's ministering spirits
    Who came in shining white app'rel
    Brought to them the blessed message,
    The true, glad tidings of great joy.

  4. A mighty dread had seized their mind
    Because of this strange sight they saw
    ''Fear not'' was the comforting words
    That came from the angelic lips.

  5. Christ the Saviour is born today
    Yet Christ the Lord on earth is He
    In David's city is He born
    In a humble manger forlon.

  6. All glory be to God on high`
    Will be the chorus by all clime
    For his tender and endless love
    That to a world in need brought peace. Amen.
