A Child This Day Is Born Lyrics

Classics: Christmas Song Lyrics
A Child This Day Is Born Song

A Child this day is born
A Child of high renown
Most worthy of a sceptre
A sceptre and a crown.

Chorus
Glad tidings to all men
Glad tidings sing we may
Because the King of Kings
Was born on Christmas Day.

These tidings shepherds heard
While watching over their fold
Twas by an Angel unto them
That night revealed and told.

Chorus

To whom the Angel spoke
Saying, "Be not afraid
Be glad, poor silly shepherds
Why are you so dismayed?"

Chorus

"For lo! I bring you tidings
Of gladness and of mirth
Which cometh to all people by
This holy Infant's birth".

Chorus

Then was there with the Angel
An host incontinent
Of heavenly bright soldiers
All from the highest sent.

Chorus

They praised the Lord, our God
And our celestial King
All glory be in Paradise
This heavenly host do sing.

Chorus

And as the Angel told them
So to them did appear
They found the young Child Jesus Christ
With Mary his mother dear.

Chorus

All glory be to God
That sitteth still on high
With praises and with triumph great
And joyful melody.

Chorus
