Lyrics

Our day of joy is here again,
With love and peace and song;
Come, let us join th’angelic strain
With voices clear and strong.

Refrain

Glory to our God, we sing,
Glory to our Lord and king;
Peace, goodwill with all abide
This holy Christ­mas tide.

When darkness lay upon this earth,
A glo­ri­ous light did shine,
God sent a Gift of priceless worth
And showed His love divine.

Refrain

Now to the manger let us go
To worship and adore
The tender babe upon the straw,
Our Sav­ior ev­er­more.

Refrain

How wonderful that God’s own Son
Should so Himself abase!
He thrust the mighty from their throne,
And gave the lowly grace.
