A babe is born in Bethlehem,
Bethlehem,
Rejoice, rejoice Jerusalem;
Hallelujah, hallelujah.
A lowly virgin gave Him birth,
Gave Him birth,
Who rules the heavens and the earth;
Hallelujah, hallelujah.
He in a simple manger lay,
Manger lay,
Whom angels praise with joy for aye;
Hallelujah, hallelujah.
And wise men from the East did bring,
East did bring,
Gold, myrrh and incense to the King;
Hallelujah, hallelujah.
Now all our fears have passed away,
Passed away,
The Savior blest was born today;
Hallelujah, hallelujah.
God’s blessed children we became,
We became,
And shall in heaven praise His name;
Hallelujah, hallelujah.
There like the angels we shall be,
We shall be,
And shall the Lord in glory see;
Hallelujah, hallelujah.
With gladsome praises we adore,
We adore,
Our Lord and Savior evermore;
Hallelujah, hallelujah.
