Tune your harps to glad­dest song,
Christians far and near;
Carol with the an­gel throng,
Christmas time is here;
Christ the Sav­ior now is born,
Born to bring all men
Long in sin and death for­lorn,
Back to Heav’n again.

Refrain

Sing with happy voice;
In the Christ­mas Child re­joice,
Leading us from sin’s dark night,
Into Heav­en’s shin­ing light,
Into Heav­en’s shin­ing light.

God’s in­car­nate Son steps down
From His throne on high,
Lays aside His migh­ty crown,
Comes to serve and die;
Comes to con­quer death and hell,
Set the sin­ner free;
Ransomed hosts His glo­ry tell
Through eter­ni­ty.

Refrain

Welcome then with hymns of praise
Heaven’s roy­al Guest;
In your hearts His tem­ple raise,
Ask Him there to rest.
He will qui­et all your fears,
Bless with rich­est love,
Take you from this vale of tears
To His home ab­ove.
