1 Ring out the news that Christ is born,
Come, children, tell the story
That was proclaimed that Christmas morn,
By angel choirs from glory.
Refrain:
Ring peace on earth, sweet peace on earth,
Good will to men,
Ring peace on earth and glory,
Glory in the highest;
Ring peace on earth, sweet peace on earth,
Good will to men;
Ring peace on earth, good will
And glory in the highest.
2 Tell o’er again the Savior’s birth,
The joyful news keep ringing;
Tell how for us He came to earth,
While shepherds heard sweet singing. [Refrain]
3 The shepherds went to Bethlehem
And found the little Stranger
Just as the angels said to them,
And lying in a manger. [Refrain]
4 For us He came to earth to die,
That we might be forgiven;
He came that we at last on high
His praise might sing in Heaven. [Refrain]

Johnson Oatman, Jr., son of Johnson and Rachel Ann Oatman, was born near Medford, N. J., April 21, 1856. His father was an excellent singer, and it always delighted the son to sit by his side and hear him sing the songs of the church.
Outside of the usual time spent in the public schools, Mr. Oatman received his education at Herbert's Academy, Princetown, N. J., and the New Jersey Collegiate Institute, Bordentown, N. J. At the age of nineteen he joined the M.E. Church, and a few years later he was granted a license to preach the Gospel, and still later he was regularly ordained by Bishop Merrill. However, Mr. Oatman only serves as a local preacher.
For many years he was engaged with his father in the mercantile business at Lumberton… Go to person page >
