Wartburg Hymnal ‎#135

135. Christ was born on Christmas day

1 Christ was born on Christmas day,
Wreathe the holy, twine the bay;
Light and life and joy is He,
The Babe, the Son, the Holy One of Mary.

2 He is born to set us free,
He is born our Lord to be;
Carol, Christians, joyfully;
The God, the Lord, by all adored forever.

3 Christian men, rejoice and sing,
'Tis the birthday of our King;
Carol, Christians, joyfully;
The God, the Lord, by all adored forever.

4 Sing out with bliss,
His name is this: Immanuel!
As 'twas foretold in days of old,
By Gabriel.
