A Child this
day is born
A Child of high renown
Most worthy of a sceptre
A
sceptre and a crown.
Chorus
Glad tidings to all men
Glad tidings sing we
may
Because the King of Kings
Was born on Christmas Day.
These tidings shepherds heard
While watching over their
fold
Twas by an Angel unto them
That night revealed and told.
Chorus
Glad tidings to all men
Glad tidings sing we
may
Because the King of Kings
Was born on Christmas Day.
To whom the Angel spoke
Saying, "Be not afraid
Be glad,
poor silly shepherds
Why are you so dismayed?"
Chorus
Glad tidings to all men
Glad tidings sing we
may
Because the King of Kings
Was born on Christmas Day.
"For lo! I bring you tidings
Of gladness and of
mirth
Which cometh to all people by
This holy Infant's birth".
Chorus
Glad tidings to all men
Glad tidings sing we
may
Because the King of Kings
Was born on Christmas Day.
Then was there with the Angel
An host incontinent
Of
heavenly bright soldiers
All from the highest sent.
Chorus
Glad tidings to all men
Glad tidings sing we
may
Because the King of Kings
Was born on Christmas Day.
They praised the Lord our God
And our celestial King
All
glory be in Paradise
This heavenly host do sing.
Chorus
Glad tidings to all men
Glad tidings sing we
may
Because the King of Kings
Was born on Christmas Day.
And as the Angel told them
So to them did appear
They found
the young Child Jesus Christ
With Mary his mother dear.
Chorus
Glad tidings to all men
Glad tidings sing we
may
Because the King of Kings
Was born on Christmas Day.
All glory be to God
That sitteth still on high
with praises
and with triumph great
And joyful melody.
Chorus
Glad tidings to all men
Glad tidings sing we
may
Because the King of Kings
Was born on Christmas Day.
