Jesus is born! hail to the morn!
Earth from her slum­ber is wak­ing;
Jesus is born! wel­come the morn!
Satan’s do­min­ion is shak­ing;
Jesus is born! Je­sus is born!
Fetters of dark­ness are break­ing;
Thro’ the gold­en gates of day,
Jesus comes a king;
Hark to the mu­sic
Floating in air ab­ove us;
Sweet is the an­them
Heavenly an­gels sing:

Refrain

Jesus is born! Je­sus is born!
Glory to God in the high­est!
Peace on earth, good will to men!
Let the ec­ho ring.

Jesus is born! Hea­ven’s high dome
Covers the earth with its glo­ry;
Jesus is come! op­en thy home!
Let His bright pre­sence come o’er thee;
Jesus is come! Je­sus is come!
Hasten and pub­lish the story—
In the low­ly Beth­le­hem,
Jesus comes a king;
Welcome the Sav­ior;
Gather with joy around Him;
Join in the chor­us
Heavenly an­gels sing:
