Caroling on, caroling on,
O herald ye the Christmas morn!
Caroling on, caroling on,
Ye seraphs sing to earth a Savior born;
Joyfully sing, joyfully sing,
Your praises ’neath the starlit sky.
Herald the Holy One,
Herald the Father’s Son;
All glory to God on high.
Hail Him, hail Him,
Herald Him the Prince immortal!
Star-crowned throng, O sing ye;
Golden harps, O ring ye;
Hail Him, hail Him,
Singing ’neath the radiant sky.

The tidings tell afar of peace and love.

For gladness unto earth is nigh;
