Lyrics

He has come, the world’s Re­deem­er,
Precious gift of Hea­ven to earth;
Shout aloud the joy­ful tid­ings
Of the dear Re­deem­er’s birth.

Refrain

Praise Him! praise Him!
Shout aloud the joy­ful tid­ings;
Praise Him! praise Him!
Christ our Sav­ior now is here.

Let us give Him glad­ly wel­come
To our hearts and homes to­day;
He for sin has full for­giv­eness
As we pe­ni­tent­ly pray.

Refrain

In His hands are won­drous trea­sures,
Which no oth­er can be­stow;
Healing for the brok­en­heart­ed,
Sweetest com­fort we can know.
