Christians, listen, while we sing,
(Dark, before the dawning)
As it was commanded them,
|: On this Christmas morning. :|
In a manger of the stall,
(Dark, before the dawning)
There they found the Lord of all,
|: On this Christmas morning. :|
There they found the mother mild,
(Dark, before the dawning)
Gazing on her newborn Child,
|: On this Christmas morning. :|
Christian, art thou far from ill?
(Dark, before the dawning)
He will make thee happier still,
|: On this Christmas morning. :|
Is an hour of sorrow near?
(Dark, before the dawning)
He will wipe away the tear
|: On this Christmas morning. :|
Blessings rest on all within!
(Dark, before the dawning)
Newer life, and hopes begin
|: On this Christmas morning. :|
Praise we then our Savior King;
(Dark, before the dawning)
As the angels once did sing
|: On this Christmas morning: :|
“Glory be to God on high,”
(Dark, before the dawning)
“Peace on earth and charity”
|: On this Christmas morning. :|
