Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Angels from the realms of glory
Stars shone bright above
Royal David's city
Was bathed in the light of love
[Verse 2]
Ooh, Jesus Christ was born today
Jesus Christ was born
Jesus Christ was born today
Jesus Christ was born
[Verse 3]
And lo! they did rejoice
Fine and pure of voice
And the wrong shall fail
And the right prevail
[Verse 4]
Oh, Jesus Christ was born today
Jesus Christ was born
Jesus Christ was born today
Jesus Christ was born
We're gonna get born now
