Author: J. C. Aaberg; N. F. S. Grundtvig Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #612 (1930) Meter: 8.3.8.8 Topics: Carols and Spiritual Songs Christmas Lyrics: 1 A Babe is born in Bethlehem,
Bethlehem,
Rejoice, rejoice, Jerusalem;
Hallelujah, hallelujah.
2 A lowly virgin gave Him birth,
Gave Him birth,
Who rules the heavens and the earth;
Hallelujah, hallelujah.
3 He in a simple manger lay,
Manger lay,
Whom angels praise with joy for aye;
Hallelujah, hallelujah.
4 And wise men from the East did bring,
East did bring,
Gold, myrrh and incense to the King;
Hallelujah, hallelujah.
5 Now all our fears have passed away,
Passed away,
The Savior blest was born today;
Hallelujah, hallelujah.
6 God's blessed children we became,
We became,
And shall in heaven praise His name;
Hallelujah, hallelujah.
7 Then like the angels we shall be,
We shall be,
God's holy presence we shall see;
Hallelujah, hallelujah.
8 The angels there with great delight,
Great delight,
Will teach the song they sang this night,
Hallelujah, hallelujah.
9 With gladsome praises we adore,
We adore,
Our Lord and Savior evermore;
Hallelujah, hallelujah. Languages: English Tune Title: NATIVITY
