Angel Tidings

in all towns and villages both far and near,
angel host bear tidigs in strain full clear:
joy come to ev’ry nation, Joy to this generation,
‘Joy, joy tot his generation, Christ
‘Joy, joy, here; Christ is here
Christ is here

Listen to the story of his wondrous birth;
how he came so long a go to us on earth;
Born of a virgin mother blessed above all other,
Born today, born today

In a manger lying in poverty;
peace he brings at Christmas tide to you and me;
Tell of his birth that saved us,
Tell of the love he gave us, Crist our Lord, Christ our Lord.

Sing then and be joyful on this Christmas night;
Follow with the wise men the star so bright;
Lead you to his own glory, Tell out the wondrous story:
Christ is born, Christ is born, born to day.
