Brother, let me tell you why I can't stop singin'
The Lord is come
Sister, let me tell you why the bells are ringin'
The Lord is come
Born this day in Bethlehem
There's a King in a manager
No room in the inn
The wise men seek him
The shepherds, too
Born for me and you
Come on, join the angels
Singing, "Glory to God in the highest..."
Join the angels
Shoutin', "Peace on Earth, good will to men..."
It's been a long time comin'
He's the one we waited for
So, join the angels
And praise the Lord
Oh brother, if your carrying a heavy burden
Lay it down
Sister, is your heart tired of all its hurtin'
Well, go on lay it down
Born this day in Bethlehem
There's a King in a manger
No room in the inn
Bringing hope to the poor
Strength to the weak
He's come to set us free
Come on, join the angels
Singing, "Glory to God in the highest..."
Join the angels
Shoutin', "Peace on Earth, good will to men..."
It's been a long time comin'
He's the one we waited for
So, join the angels
And praise the Lord
Join the angels
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Almighty God
His name will be called
Prince of Peace
And at the name of Jesus
Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess
Listen
Born this day in Bethlehem
There's a King in a manager
No room in the inn
The wise men seek him
The shepherds, too
Born for me and you
Come on, join the angels
Singing, "Glory to God in the highest..."
Join the angels
Shoutin', "Peace on Earth, good will to men..."
It's been a long time comin'
He's the one we waited for
So, join the angels
And praise the Lord
Come on
Praise the Lord
Everybody now
Praise the Lord
Praise the Lord
