Sing we merry Christmas,
Christmas blithe and free!
Time of holy gladness,
Mirth and minstrelsy.
|: Hark! the merry church bells
Ringing joyously,
Hailing with sweet music
Christ’s nativity. :|
Haste we to the temple,
Wreathe our garlands green;
Deck each arch and column
For the festive scene.
|: Glory in the highest!
Hark the angels sing;
Glory in the highest
To our infant King! :|
Pastor, choir, and people
Join in concert all;
Sing your loudest praises
At our festival.
|: Joy for us poor exiles
Comes this happy morn;
Jesus our Emmanuel,
Christ, the Lord, is born! :|
