| Text: | Christ is Born |
| Author: | F. E. Pettingell |
| Tune: | [Christ is born the promised Saviour] |
| Composer: | J. H. Kurzenknabe |
1 Christ is born, the promised Saviour,
Heaven with joyous music rings;
Christ is born, the Lord’s anointed,
Prince of peace and King of kings.
Refrain:
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Round the earth the message send:
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Never shall His kingdom end.
2 Though His infant head was cradled
In a manger of the khan,
Angel hosts are His attendants,
Son of God and Son of man. [Refrain]
3 Christ is born, O blessed story!
Ages old, yet ever new;
Christ is born, extol, enshrine Him,
Give the King His rightful due. [Refrain]
