I heard this delightful little carol for the first time this week. Beneath the video are the lyrics.
Girls and boys – Leave your toys – Make no noise
Kneel at his crib and worship him
At thy shrine – Child divine – We are thine
Our Savior’s here
Chorus:
“Hallelujah” the church bells ring
“Hallelujah” the angels sing
“Hallelujah” from everything
All must draw near
On that day – Far away – Jesus lay
Angels were watching ’round his head
Holy Child – Mother mild – Undefiled
We sing thy praise
repeat 3 lines of chorus
Our hearts we raise
Shepherds came – At the fame – Of thy name
Angels their guide to Bethlehem
In that place – Filled with grace – Saw thy face
Stood at they door
repeat 3 lines of chorus
Love evermore
Wise men too – Haste to do – Homage new
Gold, myrrh and frankincence they bring
As ’twas said – Starlight led – To thy bed
Bending their knee
repeat 3 lines of chorus
Worshipping thee
Oh, that we – All might be – Good as he
Spotless, with God in unity
Savior dear – Ever near – With us here
Since life began
repeat 3 lines of chorus
God head made man
Cherubim – Seraphim – Worship him
Sun, moon and stars proclaim his power
Every day – On our way – we shall say
Hallelujah
repeat 3 lines of chorus
Hallelujah
