Song: | THE HAPPY CHRISTMAS COMES ONCE MORE
W: Nicolai F.S. Grundtvig M: C. Balle Key: F 4-4 5 5 4 5 6-6 6 5 The hap-py Christ-mas comes once more, 5 -5 -4 5 4-4 5-5 5 -4 The heav�n-ly Guest is at the door, -4 -4 5 -5 5 6 -4 5 -5 5 The bless-�d words the shep-herds thrill, 6 7 5 -45 -5 4 -3-4 4 The joy-ous tid-ings, �Peace, good will.� This world, though wide and far outspread, Could scarcely find for You a bed. Your cradle was a manger stall, No pearl nor silk nor kingly hall. O let us go with quiet mind, The gentle Babe with shepherds find, To gaze on Him Who gladdens them, The loveliest flower of Jesse�s stem. The lowly Savior meekly lies, Laid off the splendor of the skies; No crown bedecks His forehead fair, No pearl, nor gem, nor silk is there. O wake, our hearts, in gladness sing, And keep our Christmas with our King, Till living song, from loving souls, Like sound of mighty water rolls. O holy Child, Thy manger gleams Till earth and heaven glow with its beams, Till midnight noon�s broad light hath won, And Jacob�s star outshines the sun. Thou patriarchs� joy, Thou prophets� song, Thou heavenly Dayspring, looked for long, Thou Son of Man, incarnate Word, Great David�s Son, great David�s Lord. Come, Jesus, glorious heavenly Guest, Keep Thine own Christmas in our breast, Then David�s harp strings, hushed so long, Shall swell our jubilee of song. |
