A child is born for us today, alleluia.
He is our savior and our God, alleluia

Let our hearts resound with joy
and sing a song of gladness,
for the Lord our brother
is come and we are redeemed.

Tell the world of our good news:
Jesus the Christ is among us,
And His presence we celebrate
Offering peace and our joy to all.

Christ is born, the Christ is come!
Sing ev'ryone: Alleluia!
Caught in wonder at this birth
We worship God become one with us.

Glory to God, born today
Of the Virgin Mary,
In a cave at Bethlehem:
Is there room in our lives for Him?

His name shall be Emanuel:
God Who lives among us.
Angels sing and shepherds cry:
born is the Savior, our Lord.

The Magi went and worshipped Him
With gifts so precious and costly.
In the fervour of their faith
They sought the Child Who is Lord and King.

The Lord will make integrity
And peace to grow in our times,
A covenant He offers us.
Lasting joy will be ours to share.

Arise, shine out, Jerusalem!
The glory of Yahweh has come to you.
Lift up your eyes and look around!
Radiant is your salvation.
