Lyrics

Little children, can you tell,
Do you know the story well,
Ev'ry girl and ev'ry boy,
Why the angels sing for joy
On the Christmas morning?

Yes, we know the story well;
Listen now and hear us tell,
Ev'ry girl and ev'ry boy,
Why the angels sing for joy
On the Christmas morning.

Shepherds sat upon the ground,
Fleecy flocks were scattered round,
When a brightness filled the sky,
And a voice was heard on high
On the Christmas morning.

"Joy and peace!" the angels sang;
Far the pleasant echoes rang;
"Peace on earth, to men goodwill!"
Hark! the angels sing it still
On the Christmas morning.

For a little Babe that day
Cradled in a manger lay,
Born on earth our Lord to be;
Thjis the wond'ring angels see
On the Christmas morning.

Joy our little hearts shall fill,
Peace and love, and all goodwill;
This fair Babe of Bethlehem
Children loves, and blesses them
On the Christmas morning.
