Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
Rejoice and be merry in songs and in mirth,
O praise our Redeemer, all mortals on earth:
For this is the birthday of Jesus our King,
Who brought us salvation; his praises, his praises we'll sing.
Rejoice and be merry in songs and in mirth,
O praise our Redeemer, all mortals on earth:
For this is the birthday of Jesus our King,
Who brought us salvation: his praises, his praises we'll sing.
VERSE 2
A heavenly vision appear'd in the sky,
Vast numbers of angels the shepherds did spy,
Proclaiming the birthday of Jesus our King,
Who brought us salvation: his praises, his praises we'll sing.
VERSE 3
Likewise a bright star in the sky did appear,
Which led the wise men from the East to draw near;
They found the Messiah, sweet Jesus our King,
Who brought us salvation, his praises we'll sing.
VERSE 4
And when they were come, they their treasures unfold,
And unto him offered myrrh, incense and gold.
So blessed for ever be Jesus our King,
Who brought us salvation: his praises we'll sing,
his praises, his praises we'll sing.
CODA
Rejoice and be merry,
rejoice and be merry,
rejoice and be merry,
rejoice, rejoice, rejoice!
