1 List our merry carol,
On this blessèd morn,
For our loving Savior
On Christmas day was born!
There so peaceful sleeping,
Like a flower He lay;
Christ, our loving Savior,
Born on Christmas day;
Christ, our loving Savior,
Born on Christmas day.

Refrain:
Carol, carol gaily,
Carol on our way;
Christ, our loving Savior,
Born on Christmas day.

2 See, the star is beaming,
In the radiant East,
And the song of glory
Never more hath ceased!
Banish all unkindness,
Be of gentle will;
Angels ever near us
Carol to us still;
Angels ever near us
Carol to us still. [Refrain]

3 Joyful, joyful, tidings
Break upon the earth;
Sing the Savior’s glory,
Tell His wondrous worth!
Every hill and valley,
Clad in pure white snow;
Breathes a merry carol,
Echoed sweet and low;
Breathes a merry carol,
Echoed sweet and low. [Refrain]
