159. Sing We Now of Christmas

1 Sing we now of Christmas,
Noel, sing we here!
Hear our grateful praises
to the babe so dear.

Refrain:
Sing we Noel,
the King is born, Noel!
Sing we now of Christmas,
sing we now Noel!

2 Angels called to shepherds,
"Leave your flocks at rest,
journey forth to Bethlehem,
find the lambkin blest." (Refrain)

3 In Bethlehem they found him;
Joseph and Mary mild,
seated by the manger,
watching the holy child. (Refrain)

4 From the eastern country
came the kings afar,
bearing gifts to Bethlehem
guided by a star. (Refrain)

5 Gold and myrrh they took there,
gifts of greatest price;
there was ne'er a place on earth
so like paradise. (Refrain)
