1 Hark, from ev’ry village,
City dome and town,
Such a wondrous message
Grandly ringeth down;
Echoes still are ringing
Of the Saviour’s birth;
For the world’s redeeming
Jesus came to earth.”

Refrain:
Sing, my heart, in answer:
He’s my Saviour too;
Never cease to tell it,
All his word is true,
Echoes still are ringing
Of the Saviour’s birth.
For the world’s redeeming
Jesus came to earth.

2 All the long procession,
On its churchward way,
Kneeling round the altar,
Gladly seem to say,
“Jesus Christ, our Saviour,
King and Lord of all,
Blessed Friend and Teacher,
At thy feet we fall!” [Refrain]

3 Saved of ev’ry nation,
Born in ev’ry clime,
Hear their homage blending,
At this blessed time.
“Thou, our daily Counsel,
Thou, our Strength and shield,
In our hearts forever
Thou thy scepter wield!” [Refrain]
