Songtekst A child this day is born
A Child this day is born
A Child of high renown
Most worthy of a sceptre
A sceptre and a crown
Glad tidings to all men
Glad tidings sing we may
Because the King of Kings
Was born on Christmas Day
These tidings shepherds heard
While watching o’er their fold
Twas by an Angel unto them
That night revealed and told
Glad tidings to all men
Glad tidings sing we may
Because the King of Kings
Was born on Christmas Day
To whom the Angel spoke
Saying, “Be not afraid;”
Be glad, poor silly shepherds
Why are you so dismayed
Glad tidings to all men
Glad tidings sing we may
Because the King of Kings
Was born on Christmas Day
“For lo! I bring you tidings
Of gladness and of mirth
Which cometh to all people by
This holy Infant’s birth”
Glad tidings to all men
Glad tidings sing we may
Because the King of Kings
Was born on Christmas Day
Then was there with the Ange
An host incontinent
Of heavenly bright soldiers
All from the highest sent
Glad tidings to all men
Glad tidings sing we may
Because the King of Kings
Was born on Christmas Day
They praised the Lord our God
And our celestial King
All glory be in Paradise
This heavenly host do sing
Glad tidings to all men
Glad tidings sing we may
Because the King of Kings
Was born on Christmas Day
And as the Angel told them
So to them did appear
They found the young Child, Jesus Christ
With Mary, his mother dear
Glad tidings to all men
Glad tidings sing we may
Because the King of Kings
Was born on Christmas Day
All glory be to God,
That sitteth still on high
with praises and with triumph great
And joyful melody
Glad tidings to all men
Glad tidings sing we may
Because the King of Kings
Was born on Christmas Day
