1. A Child this day is born, / A Child of high renown; / Most worthy of a sceptre, / A sceptre and a crown. / CHORUS. / Glad tidings to all men, / Glad tidings sing we may, / Because the King of kings / Was born on Christmas Day.
2. These tidings shepherds heard / Whilst watching o'er their fold; / 'Twas by an Angel unto them / That night revealed and told. / Glad tidings, etc.
3. Then was there with the Angel / A host incontinent / Of heavenly bright soldiers / All from the Highest sent. / Glad tidings, etc.
4. They praised the Lord our God, / And our Celestial King; / "All glory be in Paradise," / This heavenly host did sing. / Glad tidings, etc.
5. All glory be to God, / That sitteth still on high, / With praises and with triumph great, / And joyful melody. / Glad tidings, etc.
