13306. Sing We Now Of Christmas

1 O sing we now of Christmas,
Noel sing we here!
Hear our grateful praises,
To the Babe so dear.

Refrain
Sing we Noel, the King is born, Noel!
Sing we now of Christmas,
Sing we now Noel!

2 The angels called to shepherds,
Leave your flocks at rest;
Journey forth to Bethlehem,
Find the Lambkin blest. [Refrain]

3 In Bethlehem they found Him;
Joseph and Mary mild,
Seated by the manger,
Watching the holy Child. [Refrain]

4 Then from the eastern country
Come the kings afar,
Bearing gifts to Bethlehem,
Guided by a star. [Refrain]

5 And gold and myrrh they took there,
Gifts of greatest price;
There was ne’er a place on earth,
So like to paradise. [Refrain]
