Little Children, Can You Tell?

1 Little children, can you tell?
Do you know the story well,
Ev'ry girl and ev'ry boy,
Why the angels sing for joy
On the Christmas morning.

2 Yes, we know the story well;
Listen now, and hear us tell,
Ev'ry girl and ev'ry boy,
Why the angels sing for joy,
On the Christmas morning.

3 Christ, the Babe, on Christmas day,
Cradled in a manger lay,
Born on earth our Lord to be;
This the wond'ring angels see
On the Christmas morning!
