We will tell the won­drous sto­ry
Of hap­py tid­ings brought to earth,
Of the an­gel hosts in glo­ry,
Proclaiming Je­sus’ birth;
Hear the heav’n­ly voic­es sing­ing,
Good will on earth to men,
Unto you is born a Sav­ior,
A prince, in Beth­le­hem.

Refrain

Let us sing with joy and glad­ness,
The hap­py songs of Je­sus’ love,
’Till we join the heav’n­ly chor­us
In that bright home above.

Here we raise our tune­ful voic­es
To sing of Christ, the new­born King,
Telling how the men of wis­dom
Their pre­cious gifts did bring;
Telling how the shep­herds wor­shiped
The in­fant Sav­ior there,
Bowing low in ado­ra­tion,
O, vi­sion grand and fair.

On the great white throne in glo­ry,
That Sav­ior, once of earth, doth wait,
While the saints around are beck’n­ing,
Within the pear­ly gate.
Soon we’ll lay aside earth’s tri­als,
And when our jour­ney’s o’er,
We will meet the King eter­nal,
Upon the gold­en shore.
