Representative Text

1 Tell the joyful news, Christ the Lord is born,
Peace and joy He brings on this Christmas morn;
Let the bells ring out and their music tell,
Jesus comes to reign King Immanuel.

Refrain:
In the highest Peace, good will to men,
Jesus cometh, tell the news again
While the angels sing of the new born King,
Spread the joyful news over all the land.

2 Tell the joyful news, night has pass’d away,
And the dawning breaks of a brighter day;
For the gospel rays from the cradle shine,
Over all the world shedding light divine. [Refrain]

3 Tell the joyful news over all the earth,
Let the nations hear of a Savior’s birth,
‘Till each grateful heart shall the strain repeat,
And their tributes bring to the Master’s feet. [Refrain]
