Christmas is the time to sing
Praises to our heavenly King.
Jesus Christ, the Son of God,
Whom the saints and angels laud,
He was born in human frame,
At the time appointed came.
Shepherds in the fields that night
Were assured by angel bright
That no fearful time was this,
But a moment of great bliss.
Hist’ry’s focal time was here,
God in flesh did now appear.
He—that Babe in manger bed
Was in truth the church’s Head;
He the sacrifice would be
On the cross of Calvary.
So we celebrate this day!
May we sing and may we pray,
With uplifted hearts may raise
To our God a hymn of praise.
