Happy news, oh happy news,

once again we sing in praise.

Happy news, oh happy news,

Jesus Christ is born today.

Come and join us, sing aloud.

Glory to our lord we say.

Come and join, sing aloud.

He was in a manger laid.

 

Praises to the lord we bring.

Born to us to be our king.

Praises to the lord we bring.

To the sky our carols ring.

Happy news, come sing with us –

In our joyous welcoming.

Hallowed love be his today,

He for whom in praise we sing.
