Christmas Carols
Once More The Sweet Melodious Song Lyrics
1. Once more the sweet melodious sound
Salutes our happy ears
The pleasing echo warbles round
The pleasing echo warbles round
Shepherds dismiss your fears, your fears
Shepherds dismiss your fears
Shepherds dismiss your fears
Shepherds dismiss your fears.
2. Behold a bright celestial band
Commission'd from above,
Visits our dark benighted land
Visits our dark benighted land
With tidings fraught with love, with love
With tidings fraught with love
With tidings fraught with love.
With tidings fraught with love
3. Welcome ye sons of glorious light
Welcome the news they bring
Welcome the heart reviving sight,
Of our immortal, immortal King
Of our immortal King,
Of our immortal King,
Of our immortal King
4. All hail, this celebrated day,
Hail the great Prince of Peace
Let every heart due homage pay
Let every heart due homage pay
And praises never, never cease,
And praises praises never cease
And praises never cease,
praises never cease.
