Refrain: Good tidings, good tidings, good tidings of great joy Tidings of great joy, great joy. 2 Across the distant plains of time, There angel voices sang, While shepherds watched their flocks by night, This was the song they sang— "Behold, today in Bethlehem A son to you is given, And he shall be your councellor, The mighty God from heaven". [Refrain] 3 Across the distant plains of time, This song is ringing still, We hear it in the rolling tide, O'er mountain top and hill: Today, today in Bethlehem A savior born to men, And he shall heal the wond’ring throng Of every sin and stain. [Refrain]

[Refrain]
