The Cyber Hymnal ‎#2099

2099. Hail, Hail, Hail

1. Hail, hail, hail the blessèd Christmas morn;
Hail, hail, hail, the Prince of Peace is born;
The Lord of life and power,
Of wisdom, love and grace,
Has come to heal His people,
To save the fallen race.

Refrain
Hail, hail, hail, let angels prostrate fall;
Hail, hail, hail, and crown Him Lord of all.

2. Hail, hail, hail, to Christ our Infant King;
Hail, hail, hail, the choirs celestial sing;
The heav’nly host rejoices
Throughout the starry sky,
While all our happy voices
Sing praise to God on high. [Refrain]

3. Joy, joy, joy, our hearts are glad today;
Joy, joy, joy, let sorrow flee away;
For Christ, our Light was given
To banish all our woe,
And He came down from Heaven,
His love for us to show. [Refrain]
