94. Christ is Born

1 Christ is born, the promised Saviour,
Heaven with joyous music rings;
Christ is born, the Lord’s anointed,
Prince of peace and King of kings.

Refrain:
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Round the earth the message send:
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Never shall His kingdom end.

2 Though His infant head was cradled
In a manger of the khan,
Angel hosts are His attendants,
Son of God and Son of man. [Refrain]

3 Christ is born, O blessed story!
Ages old, yet ever new;
Christ is born, extol, enshrine Him,
Give the King His rightful due. [Refrain]
