Representative Text

1 Welcome, day of blessing!
Peace and joy thy moments bring,
Welcome, day of gladness!
Round the earth may thy praises ring.

Refrain:
This day is the promise seal’d,
This day is the love of God reveal’d,
Over Bethlehem, the Angel voices sing,
The birthday of our King.

2 Carol, men and maidens!
With the angels sound His praise,
Carol, youth and children,
In full chorus your voices raise. [Refrain]

3 Onward, bear His standard!
Spread the triumphs of His name!
Upward, lift the banner,
And the forces of evil shame. [Refrain]

4 Crown Him, then ye people
Crown the Saviour, Prince of Peace!
Crown Him, O ye nations
For His kingdom shall still increase! [Refrain]
