Christ Was Born On Christmas Night Lyrics

1. Christ was born on Christmas night,
Sing the Carol gaily;
King of Love and Lord of Light
Praise Him, Praise Him daily.

[Refrain:]
Welcome Christmas! Welcome Yule!
Mistletoe and holly!
Be ye merry, gentles all,
Mirth need not be folly.

2. Christ was laid in cattle stall,
Ox and ass most duly
Did as to the Lord of all
Make obeisance truly. [Refrain]

3. Seven shepherds knelt them there
In that stable lowly,
Hailed as King the Christ-Child fair,
Very God Most Holy. [Refrain]

4. Seven shepherds fared them forth,
God's gift glorifying,
Told the wonder of its worth
To men, living, dying. [Refrain]

5. Star-led Kings from Eastern land
Came on camels riding,
Spice and myrrh and gold in hand
For a royal tithing. [Refrain]

6. Gaspar, Belsar, Melchior,
Found in Bethlem City
Him they knew by mystic lore
King of Love and Pity. [Refrain]

7. Pity, mercy, peace, and love,
These be Christmas sweetings;
Be they ours from God above,
Take our Christmas greetings! [Refrain]
