A Child This Day Is Born

A Child This Day Is Born

Words & Music by Will­iam San­dys

A child this day is born
A child of high renown
Most worthy of a sceptre and a crown

Refrain:

Glad tidings to all men
Glad tidings sing we may
Because the king of kings
Was born on Christmas day

These tidings shepherds heard
Whilst watching o’er their fold;
‘Twas by an Angel unto them
That night revealed and told.

Refrain

Then was there with the Angel
An host incontinent
Of heavenly bright soldiers,
All from the highest sent.

Refrain

They praised the Lord our God,
And our celestial King;
All glory be in Paradise,
This heavenly host do sing.

Refrain

All glory be to God,
That sitteth still on high,
With praises and with triumph great,
And joyful melody.
