Welcome to Christmas

Author: Birdie Bell Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7204 Meter: 11.11.11.10 D First Line: Beautiful anthem the first Christmas wakened Refrain First Line: Ring out a welcome to Christmas' fair morning Lyrics: 1. Beautiful anthem the first Christmas wakened Ages ago over Bethlehem’s plain; Greeting the shepherds with magical accents, Bringing deliverance from sin’s deep stain. Refrain Ring out a welcome to Christmas’ fair morning, Herald its coming, each fresh, youthful voice; Ring out a welcome, a bright cheery welcome! Christmas is dawning, let earth rejoice! 2. Peerless the singers, and wondrous their singing; Glorious theme: Lo, a Savior is born! Royal Deliverer, His praises are ringing, Hailing with joy the auspicious morn! [Refrain] 3. Shall we not join in the loud, swelling chorus Sending the message from mountain to sea; Let fairest Peace spread her dove-like wings o’er us, Making our hearts His fit home to be. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: BOXELDER
