Glad Christmas Bells

Lyrics

(Folk song)

1. Glad Christmas bells, your music tells
The sweet and pleasant story,
How came to earth in a lowly birth,
The Lord of life and glory.

2. No palace hall its ceiling tall
His kingly head spread over,
There only stood a stable rude
The heavenly Babe to cover.

3. No raiment gay, as there He lay,
Adorned the infant Stranger;
Poor, humble Child of mother mild,
She laid Him in a manger.

4. But from afar, a splendid star
The wise men westward turning;
The livelong night saw pure and bright,
Above His birth place burning.
