What is the song the an­gels sing?
Sweetly sing, glad­ly sing;
What is the song the an­gels sing,
On a Christ­mas morn­ing?
O, Peace on earth, the an­gels sing,
Sweetly sing, glad­ly sing,
O, Peace on earth, the an­gels sing,
On a Christ­mas morn­ing.

Refrain

O bless­èd morn! O won­drous King!
A Sav­ior born, the Lord’s an­oint­ed,
Enters on the work ap­point­ed,
Leaves the heav’n­ly world awhile,
God and man to re­con­cile.
(repeat)

What is the bless­ing an­gels bring?
Gladly bring, tru­ly bring;
What is the bless­ing an­gels bring,
On a Christ­mas morn­ing?
Good will to men, the an­gels bring,
Gladly bring, tru­ly bring;
Good will to men, the an­gels bring,
On a Christ­mas morn­ing.

Refrain

O, tell me why should child­ren sing?
Sweetly sing, glad­ly sing;
O, tell me why should child­ren sing,
On a Christ­mas morn­ing?
In Beth­le­hem was born a king,
Children’s king, an­gels’ king;
In Beth­le­hem was born a king,
On a Christ­mas morn­ing.

Refrain

Then let us all to­ge­ther sing,
Sweetly sing, glad­ly sing;
Then let us all to­ge­ther sing,
On this Christ­mas morn­ing.
Glory to Him whom love did bring,
Sweetly bring, glad­ly bring;
Glory to Him whom love did bring,
On this Christ­mas morn­ing.
