Peace on earth goodwill unto men
Was the song of the angels
Shepherd abiding in the field
Heard, and herald Jesus birth
2.
’Twas upon the mount of Judea
There was great light of stars seen
To guide the wise men on their way
To look for this precious gift
3.
And the three wise men saw the light
As it was shown unto them
To the child they brought precious gifts
Gold, silver and frankincense
4.
By the manger where Jesus laid
They fell and worshipp’d their king
In humble they offer’d their gifts
To Him that brought salvation
5.
Our Lord Jesus is born newly
As the year is passing by
In the heart of all His children
As foretold by the angels
6.
Behold we see the star newly
Like the time of Jesus birth
May His blessings be upon us
As the year is passing by
Amen
