Lyrics

O sing again that sto­ry sweet and true,
The joy­ful strain that filled the sky so bright,
When angels came thro’ Hea­ven’s star­ry ways,
Good news to bring one ho­ly night.

Refrain

Sing the sto­ry, bless­èd sto­ry,
Ever sweet and true;
Christ the lov­ing heav’n­ly Sav­ior
Comes this day to you.

Sing the sto­ry an­gels told,
Speeding down from gates of gold
Sing the sto­ry, Christ from glo­ry:
All the world must know.

Thro’ still­ness deep, the glad ex­ult­ant lay
Floats down once more our hearts to calm and cheer,
Rejoice, O earth! al­though He wears no crown,
A king en­throned, the Lord is here.

Refrain

O sing again that story won­drous sweet,
Shine out, ye stars, with clear ce­les­ti­al glow;
By faith we see the low­ly man­ger bed,
And praise His name whose love we know.
