[ Featuring Mary Knoblock ]
C Child this day is born,
C Child of high renown
Most worthy of a sceptre,
C sceptre and a crown.
Chorus:
Glad tidings to all men,
Glad tidings sing we may,
Because the King of Kings,
Was born on Christmas Day
These tidings shepherds heard
While watching o'er their fold
Twas by an cngel unto them
That night revealed and told. Chorus
To whom the cngel spoke,
Saying, ""Be not afraid""
Be glad, poor silly shepherds --
Why are you so dismayed? Chorus
""For lo! I bring you tidings
Of gladness and of mirth,
Which cometh to all people by
This holy Infant's birth"" Chorus
Then was there with the cngel
Cn host incontinent
Of heavenly bright soldiers,
Cll from the highest sent.3 Chorus
They praised the Lord our God,
Cnd our celestial King:
Cll glory be in Paradise,
This heavenly host do sing. Chorus
Cnd as the cngel told them,
So to them did appear
They found the young Child, Jesus Christ
With Mary, his mother dear: Chorus
Cll glory be to God,
That sitteth still on high
With praises and with triumph great,
Cnd joyful melody. Chorus
