Tune: | [Happy hearts, light and gay] |
Composer: | F. K. Hill |
1 Happy hearts light and gay,
Have we children on this day;
Christ is born, let us sing
Praises to our King.
Refrain:
Happily we’ll gladly sing
Alleluias to our King,
Bethlehem’s Babe, born today—
Sing our merry lay.
2 Gentle hearts, ever fair,
Beating with the love we bear;
Precious buds, full of life,
Keep us from all strife. [Refrain]
3 Mary’s Child, Bethlehem’s babe,
Little children He will save;
Every heart may be bright,
Jesus gives the light. [Refrain]
4 Holy babe, every day
Keep us in the narrow way,
Help us all strive to be
Thine eternally. [Refrain]
