16819. O Thou Holiest, O Thou Happiest

1 O thou ho­li­est, O thou hap­pi­est,
Grace giv­ing Christ­mas time has come!
World in sin for­lorn,
Christ to save was born,
O re­joice, O re­joice, all Christ­endom!

2 O thou ho­li­est, O thou hap­pi­est,
Peace giv­ing Christmas time has come!
Christ’s light is beam­ing,
Our soul re­deem­ing,
O re­joice, O re­joice, all Christ­en­dom!

3 O thou ho­li­est, O thou hap­pi­est,
Life giv­ing Christ­mas time has come!
Angels in glo­ry
Shout the great sto­ry,
O re­joice, O re­joice, all Christ­en­dom!
