On This Christmas Morning

Joyously the choir sings,
in accord, praising Him!
A chorus of angels joining in,
on this Christmas morning.
Peace on earth, good will to men.
Praise to our Father, Elohim.
Ringing chords in tune for Him,
on this Christmas morning.

Holy child of royal birth,
the Savior’s come, He’s come to earth!
He left His heavenly home for awhile;
of Him we extol and testify!

What are blessings He shall bring?
Grace and mercy, love without end.
May we raise a voice to Him,
on this Christmas morning.
What are the truths He shall bring?
Seek Him in the simplest things!
Let’s keep our promises to Him,
on this Christmas morning.

Holy child of royal birth,
the Savior’s come, He’s come to earth!
He left His heavenly home for awhile;
of Him we extol and testify!

Frankincense, gold and myrrh
were gifts for Him from travel’rs afar.
I give my heart, mind and strength,
on this Christmas morning.
Bethlehem brought forth my King,
Master giver of everything.
Let us give glory back to Him,
On this Christmas, joyous Christmas,
On this Christmas, Christmas morn!
