Hail to the morn when Christ is born!
Hosanna in the highest!
Angels on high sing thro’ the sky!
Hosanna in the highest!
Shepherds adore the Lamb today:
Kings from the east are on their way;
Sing then all in house and hall:
Hosanna!
Christ is born on Christmas morn,
Hosanna in the highest!
Cedar and pine now cheerily twine:
Hosanna in the highest!
Crown every scene with evergreen:
Hosanna in the highest!
Now is the reign of darkness o’er:
Jesu is King for evermore!
Sing then all in house and hall:
Hosanna!
Christ is born on Christmas morn,
Hosanna in the highest!
Boughs of the holly this day adorn:
Hosanna in the highest!
Sharp are the leaves as crowns of thorn:
Hosanna in the highest!
See, in the berries all blood-red,
Blood that, for us, this Babe shall shed:
Sing then all in house and hall:
Hosanna!
Christ is born on Christmas morn,
Hosanna in the highest!
Laurel and bay bring forth today:
Hosanna in the highest!
Matchless His might in deadly fight:
Hosanna in the highest!
Hail to the Child Immanuel!
Conqueror is He of death and hell!
Sing then all in house and hall:
Hosanna!
Christ is born on Christmas morn,
Hosanna in the highest!
