Come now, and let us, once again,
Twine wreaths of hol­ly and of hay;
And with glad hearts in lof­ty strain,
Sing, Christ is born anew tod­ay.
Then loud and long we’ll raise the song,
Our Christ is born anew to­day,
Our Christ is born anew to­day.

As to the shep­herds on the plain,
The voice of an­gels from on high
Bore the glad song, Good will to men,
On earth let peace be ev­er nigh:
The peace of Heav’n to mor­tals giv’n,
When Christ was born on Christ­mas day,
When Christ was born on Christ­mas day.

To Him above, all glo­ry yield,
Whose great­est gift has crowned our days;
And as we twine our Christ­mas wreath,
We’ll weave there­in both love and praise:
Our hearts we’ll bring to Christ our king,
Who’s born anew for us to­day,
Who’s born anew for us to­day.
