Christ the Lord Is Born

Words: Edith Tillotson, 1914

Music: Ira Wilson

Once again the Christmas bells have brought us

Tidings of good will and peace;

Once again the angel lips have taught us

Music that shall never cease.

Over all the world the song is sounding,

Ringing in the happy morn-

"Glory! glory! Christ the Lord is born."

Night of joy, when the star shone out above,

Night of joy when the world received that gift of love;

Oh, night of joy! and triumphant golden morn;

Glory! glory! Christ the Lord is born.

Many years have passed since first the story

Echoed over Bethlehem's plain;

Still we see the star in all its glory,

Still we hear the sweet refrain.

Everywhere we find glad voices singing

Welcome to His natal morn-

"Glory! glory! Christ the Lord is born."

Night of joy, when the star shone out above,

Night of joy when the world received that gift of love;

Oh, night of joy! and triumphant golden morn;

Glory! glory! Christ the Lord is born.
