Christ Is Born

Author: James Rowe Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #852 First Line: Hark! a mighty host is singing Refrain First Line: Christ is born! Christ is born! Lyrics: 1. Hark! a mighty host is singing, Christ is born! Christ is born! Thro’ the sky glad strains are winging— Christ the King is born! Let us join the swelling chorus Of the angels singing o’er us; Peace and gladness are before us— Christ the King is born! Refrain Christ is born! Christ is born! Born again for men this morn; Forever praise Him, O magnify Him, For Christ the King is born! 2. Spread the news to every nation, Christ is born! Christ is born! Fill the air with jubilation— Christ the King is born! Hope in hopeless hearts is springing, Souls long bowed with grief are singing; Joy to all His birth is bringing— Christ the King is born! [Refrain] 3. Haste, ye people, haste to greet Him, Christ is born! Christ is born! Come with outstretched arms to meet Him— Christ the King is born! Ye who long in vain have striven, Hearts by sin or sorrow riven, Yours the gift which God has given— Christ the King is born! [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Hark! a mighty host is singing]
