Verse 1

Christmas people gather near

And put away all doubt and fear,

Shout and sing be of good cheer

Rejoice, for Christ is born

Chorus

Sing unto the lord with joyful noise!

Bring unto the Lord a tuneful voice

Ring the news let the world rejoice.

Rejoice, for Christ is born

Verse 2

Shepherds go and see the one

Delight at all that love has done;

For God has given us a son

Rejoice for Christ is born

Chorus

Sing unto the lord with joyful noise!

Bring unto the Lord a tuneful voice

Ring the news let the world rejoice.

Rejoice, for Christ is born

Hodie Christus Natus est

Come rejoicing, come rejoicing

Sing for Christ is born

People come and gather round

And join as one with a joyful sound

Come with me to David's town

Rejoice, for Christ is born

Glory be to God on high.

Let all creation now reply.

Lift your voice to the sky.

Rejoice, for Christ is born.

Sing unto the lord with Joyful noise;

Bring unto the lord a tuneful voice.

Ring the news, let the world rejoice

Rejoice for Christ the lord is born

Rejoice for Christ is born
