Refrain:
O how joyfully, O how blessedly,
Comes the glory of Christmastime!

1. To a world so lost in sin,
Christ the Savior, enters in;
Praise Him, all ye Christians,
praise Him evermore! Refrain

With His grace redeems us all:
Praise Him, all ye Christians,
praise Him evermore! Refrain

Host of angels from on high.
Sing, rejoicing, in the sky:
Praise Him, all ye Christians,
praise Him evermore! Refrain
