Rejoice. Don't be afraid
For it is written
A world of darkness waits
To be forgiven
A merry song we sing
For Heaven's answer
To send an infant king
Our swaddled savior
Hallelujah
A babe is born
Singing hallelujah
Be filled with awe and wonder
This Christmas morn
Emmanuel
Our God is here with us
Good tidings of great cheer
This festive season
The ones we love draw near
To light the beacon
The holly has been hung
With joyful measure
The carols being sung
Of heaven's treasure
Hallelujah
A babe is born
Singing hallelujah
Be filled with awe and wonder
This Christmas morn
Emmanuel
Our God is here with us
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la
Hallelujah
A babe is born
Singing hallelujah
Be filled with awe and wonder
This Christmas morn
Emmanuel
Our God is here with us
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
'Tis the season to be jolly
Fa la la la la, la la la la
