Representative Text

1 There rose on the air a sweet, sweet song,
That told of a Saviour’s birth;
The song of that pure and holy throng,
That brought the good news to the earth.

Refrain:
Jesus, our Saviour, we hail Thee as our King!
Jesus, our Saviour, to Thee our hearts we bring!
Hail! All hail! O hail the King of glory!
Laud and magnify His holy name!

2 Glad tidings of joy to man they bring;
“Your Saviour is born today.”
As angels the sweet, sweet song still sing,
We’ll join in their heavenly lay. [Refrain]

3 Thro’ mountain and vale the sweet song rang:
“Glad tidings of joy we bring.”
The mountain echoed the song they sang,
“Peace and good will to man.” [Refrain]
