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
