14239. Sweetest New-Born Baby

1 Hear our happy voices
Singing loud and clear;
Every one rejoices:
Christ the Lord is here.

Refrain:
Sweetest new-born Baby,
Sent from Heav’n above,
Gift of God the Father,
Telling of His love.

2 Every face is brighter
Since this Baby came;
Every heart is lighter
Since we know His name. [Refrain]

3 And His name, ’tis Jesus,
David’s son, our king;
We will worship Jesus,
Gifts to Him we’ll bring. [Refrain]
