59. We Hail The Birth Of Jesus

1 We hail thee, blessed Jesus,
The Saviour of the earth,
We sing a Christmas anthem,
Rejoicing in thy birth.

Chorus:
0 blessed, blessed Jesus,
We hail thee, we hail thee!
Our Saviour and Redeemer,
We hail thee, we hail thee!

2 The angels sang of Jesus;
They heralded his birth:
They hasted down from Heaven,
Announcing it to earth. [Chorus]

3 The shepherds heard the tidings,
And came with joy to see
The blessed child o£ promise G
God's gift to you and me. [Chorus]

4 The wise men came with treasures,
With treasures rich and rare,
And gifts of gold they brought him,
And frankincense and myrrh. [Chorus]

5 We bring far richer treasures;
Our hearts we offer now;
Oh Jesus, do thou bless them,
As at thy feet we bow. [Chorus]
