15002. Christ Is Born

1 Ring out the news that Christ is born,
Come, children, tell the story
That was proclaimed that Christmas morn,
By angel choirs from glory.

Refrain:
Ring peace on earth, sweet peace on earth,
Good will to men,
Ring peace on earth and glory,
Glory in the highest;
Ring peace on earth, sweet peace on earth,
Good will to men;
Ring peace on earth, good will
And glory in the highest.

2 Tell o’er again the Savior’s birth,
The joyful news keep ringing;
Tell how for us He came to earth,
While shepherds heard sweet singing. [Refrain]

3 The shepherds went to Bethlehem
And found the little Stranger
Just as the angels said to them,
And lying in a manger. [Refrain]

4 For us He came to earth to die,
That we might be forgiven;
He came that we at last on high
His praise might sing in Heaven. [Refrain]
