Sing aloud on this day!    

1) Sing aloud on this day,
Children all raise the lay,
Cheerfully we and they,
Hasten to adore thee,
Sent from highest glory.
For us born, born, born,
For us born, born, born,
For us born, on this morn,
Of the Virgin Mary.

2) Now a child, he is born,
Swathing bands him adorn,
Manger bed, he'll not scorn,
Ox and ass are near him;
We as Lord revere him,
And the vain, vain, vain,
And the vain, vain, vain,
And the vain powers of hell,
Spoiled of prey now fear him.

3) From the far Orient
Guiding star wise men sent;
Him to seek their intent,
Lord of all creation;
Kneel in adoration.
Gifts of gold, gold, gold,
Gifts of gold, gold, gold,
Gifts of gold, frankincense,
Myrrh for their oblation.

4) All must join him in praise;
Men and boys voices raise
On this day of all days;
Angel voices ringing,
Christmas tidings bringing.
Join we all, all, all,
Join we all, all, all,
Join we all, Gloria
In excelsis singing.
