Christmas Day Song

Author: C. E. Hecht Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9645 First Line: Blessed song that the throng Lyrics: 1 Blessèd song that the throng Of rejoicing angels brought, From the heav’nly choirs above, And to Judah’s shepherds taught; Peace on earth, Christ is born, Hail the first glad Christmas morn, Glory to God in the highest. Refrain: Peace on earth, ’tis mercy’s plan, Glory to God, good will to man, Ever sing while you bring, On each happy Christmas day, Your hearts unto Him an offering. 2 Angels knew, God was true, At His promised Savior’s birth, Glad to tell the news they flew, To the waiting sons of earth; Then may we happy be, We, whom Jesus came to free, While we repeat their sweet chorus. [Refrain] 3 Banish care and despair, While we keep this festal day, Every grateful heart prepare, Loving thanks and praise to pay; Every tear, every fear, Of the past and passing year, Forget and sing with the angels. [Refrain] 4 Let us now humbly bow, At the infant Savior’s feet, Here record our solemn vow, That no other king we’ll greet; Him we crown, Him we own, Savior, king and Lord alone, Jesus! the glory of angels. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Blessed song that the throng]
