Have you heard the story that they’re telling ‘bouth Bethlehem,
Have you heard the story of the Jesus child?
How he came from heaven and was born in a manger bed?
Mary was his virgin mother pure and mild,
Sing alleluia, brothers, sing alleluia sisters worship the Jesus child and praise his mother mild,
Glory to God on high’ the angel hosts above are singing:
Listen to the story of the Jesus child.
Have you heard the story of the poor humble shepherd men,
Sitting on the hillside with their flocks at night?
Suddenly the angel tells them: hurry to Bethlehem,
Go and find the Jesus child, the world’s new light,
Sing alleluia, brothers, sing alleluia sisters, worship the Jesus child and praise his mother mild,
Glory to God on high’the angel hosts above are singing:
Listen to the story of the Jesus child.
Jesus child, lying at Bethlehem, sleeping safe at Mary’s knee,
Save my soul and bring me to paradise,
Let me join the angels singing glory to thee
Sing alleluia, brothers, sing alleluia sisters, worship the Jesus child and praise his mother mild,
Glory to God on high’the angel hosts above are singing:
Listen to the story of the Jesus child.
Have you heard the story oj the kings from the orient,
Following the star that’s shining over his head?
Offering their precious gifts of gold, myrrh and frankincense,
Kneeling with the ox and ass before his bed?
Sing alleluia, brothers, sing alleluia sisters, worship the Jesus child and praise his mother mild,
Glory to God on high’the angel hosts above are singing:
Listen to the story of the Jesus child
Brothers, let us celebrate the birth of the Jesus child,
Sisters, come and welcome him, the newborn King;
Praise the Lord who sent him down from heaven at Christmas time,
Young and old and rich and poor, his praises sing.
Sing alleluia, brothers, sing alleluia sisters, worship the Jesus child and praise his mother mild,
Glory to God on high’the angel hosts above are singing:
Listen to the story of the Jesus child
