120. Jesus Is Born

1 Sing! sing! ye hosts of light;
Jesus is born!
Past is the dreary night,
Bright is the dawn,
Hail! star of Bethlehem;
Light of the prophet's dream!
Hope now doth brightly beam;
Jesus is born!

Refrain:
Jesus is born,
Jesus is born--
Jesus our Saviour-King,
Is born in Bethlehem!

2 Sing! sing! ye ransomed race;
Jesus is born!
Hail! sun of righteousness;
Jesus is born!
Welcome, O Prince of Peace;
Bringing our souls release,
Bidding our sorrows cease;
Jesus is born! [Refrain]

3 Peace and good will to men,
Jesus is born!
Cleansing the foulest stain,
Jesus is born!
Glory to God above,
For His unbounded love,
Christ will our sins remove,
Jesus is born! [Refrain]
