Sing We Now of Christmas

Sing We Now of Christmas

Sing we now of Christmas the faithful come – angels sing -
Drummer boy on bended knee before the winter rose now blooming;

Sing we now of Christmas with masters of the hall –
God rest ye merry gentlemen and herald angels all;

Sing we now of Christmas in silent little Bethlehem town
Wondering what child is this when morning bells abound;

Sing we now of Christmas – Noel, Noel - the first Noel -
As once in royal David’s city with friendly beasts the story tell;

Sing we now of Christmas for a star up in the sky
Shepherds as they watched their flocks – three kings marching by.

Sing we now of Christmas on holy nights and midnights clear
The Christ child in a manger stall – joy to the world far and near;
