lyrics
On this day earth shall ring
with the song children sing;
To the Lord, Christ our King
born on earth to save us;
Him the Father gave us
Glory to the Father, glory to the Son,
Glory to the Holy Ghost, to the three in one.
His the doom, ours the mirth,
when he came down to earth;
Bethlehem saw his birth;
ox and ass beside him,
from the cold would hide him.
Glory to the Father, glory to the Son,
Glory to the Holy Ghost, to the three in one.
God's bright star, o'er his head,
wise men three to him led;
kneel they low by his bed,
lay their gifts before him,
praise him and adore him.
Glory to the Father, glory to the Son,
Glory to the Holy Ghost, to the three in one.
On this day angels sing;
with their song earth shall ring,
praising Christ, heaven's King,
born on earth to save us,
peace and love he gave us.
Glory to the Father, glory to the Son,
Glory to the Holy Ghost, to the three in one.
