        1. Rejoice, rejoice, this happy morn,
        A Savior unto us is born,
        The Christ, the Lord of Glory.
        His lowly birth in Bethlehem
        The angels from on high proclaim
        And sing redemption's story.
        My soul, extol God's great favor,
        Bless Him ever For salvation,
        Give Him praise and adoration.
