The Cyber Hymnal ‎#11632

11632. Gather And Sing

1 Cheerily hail the Christmas morn,
Carol a tuneful lay;
Welcome the infant Savior born,
Greet Him with joy today.

Refrain:
Merrily now the bells we hear,
Chiming in chorus sweet and clear,
Gather and sing, gather and sing,
Welcome the children’s King.

2 Wonderful song of holy mirth,
Sweeping along the sky;
Glory to God, and peace on earth,
Glory to God on high. [Refrain]

3 Over the world good news proclaim,
Heralds of love, away;
Jesus the Lord has come to reign,
Tell it with joy today. [Refrain]
