Hail to the morn when Christ is born!
Hosanna in the high­est!
Angels on high sing thro’ the sky!
Hosanna in the high­est!
Shepherds adore the Lamb to­day:
Kings from the east are on their way;

Refrain

Sing then all in house and hall:
Hosanna!
Christ is born on Christ­mas morn,
Hosanna in the high­est!

Cedar and pine now chee­ri­ly twine:
Hosanna in the high­est!
Crown ev­ery scene with ev­er­green:
Hosanna in the high­est!
Now is the reign of dark­ness o’er:
Jesu is king for ev­er­more!

Refrain

Boughs of the hol­ly this day adorn:
Hosanna in the high­est!
Sharp are the leaves as crowns of thorn:
Hosanna in the high­est!
See, in the ber­ries all blood-red,
Blood that, for us, this Babe shall shed:

Refrain

Laurel and bay bring forth to­day:
Hosanna in the high­est!
Matchless His might in dead­ly fight:
Hosanna in the high­est!
Hail to the Child Im­ma­nu­el!
Conqueror is He of death and hell!

Refrain
