[Leader]
On the eve of Christmas,
[People]
In the fields at night-time,
The shepherds watched their flocks near
Bethlehem of Judah:
[Leader]
Bright angels appearing,
[People]
Bright angels appearing,
Gave the joyful tidings.
‘Born is now the baby,
Christ, the world’s Redeemer,
Our God in flesh incarnate,
Lying in a manger:
To Bethlehem go now;
To Bethlehem go now;
There shall you behold him.’
‘Mystery amazing!
Let us go to seek him,
To Bethlehem returning,
As the angels told us.
The Saviour, we seek him:
The Saviour, we seek him:
Mystery amazing!’
At the inn arriving,
In the lowly stable
They found him with the cattle,
With Mary and with Joseph.
The Saviour they worshipped,
The Saviour they worshipped,
Kneeling there before him.
On this happy morning,
Come let us adore him,
With heart and voice rejoicing.
Worship our Redeemer,
O come and adore him,
O come and adore him,
Who came for us at Christmas!
