218. Carolling On

1 Carolling on, carolling on,
O herald ye the Christmas morn!
Carolling on, carolling on,
Ye seraphs sing to earth a Saviour born;
Joyfully sing, joyfully sing,
Your praises ‘neath the star-lit sky;
Herald the holy One, herald the Father’s Son,
All glory to God on high.

Refrain:
Hail Him, hail Him, herald Him the Prince immortal!
Star-crowned throng O sing ye;
Golden harps, O ring ye,
Hail Him, hail Him, singing ‘neath the radiant sky;
Herald the holy One, herald the Father’s Son,
All glory to God on high.

2 Carolling on, carolling on,
O come ye from the courts above;
Carolling on, carolling on,
The tidings tell afar of peace and love;
Joyfully sing, joyfully sing,
For gladness unto earth is nigh;
Herald the Daystar bright, herald the Lord of light,
All glory to God on high. [Refrain]

3 Carolling on, carolling on,
Your anthems through the years resound;
Carolling on, carolling on,
O blessed Christmas praise still sweetly sound;
Joyfully sing, joyfully sing,
And earth shall echo glad reply;
Herald the promised Lord, blessed incarnate Word,
All glory to God on high. [Refrain]
