Tell the joyful news, Christ the Lord is born,
Peace and joy He brings on this Christmas morn;
Let the bells ring out and their music tell,
Jesus comes to reign, King Immanuel.

Refrain

In the highest peace, good will to men;
Jesus cometh, tell the news again;
While the angels sing of the newborn King,
Spread the joyful news over all the land.

Tell the joyful news, night has passed away,
And the dawning breaks of a brighter day;
For the Gospel rays from the manger shine,
Over all the world, shedding light divine.

Refrain

Tell the joyful news over all the earth:
Let the nations hear of a Savior’s birth,
’Till each grateful heart shall the strain repeat,
And their tributes bring to the Master’s feet.

Refrain
