From heaven above
to earth I come
to bring good news to everyone!
Glad tidings of great joy I bring
to all the world, and gladly sing;
to you this night is born a child
of Mary, chosen virgin mild;
this new born child of lowly birth
shall be the joy of all the earth.
This is the Christ,
God’s Son most high,
who hears your sad and bitter cry;
he will himself your Savior be
and from all sin will set you free.
The blessings which
the Father planned
the Son holds in his infant hand,
that in his kingdom, bright and fair,
you may with us his glory share.
