Verse 1
G 
 (G major) Me thinks I see an heavenly host
of angels on the wing,
Me thinks I hear their cheerful noise
so merrily they sing, so merrily they sing.
Let all your fears be banished,
let their tidings I proclaim,
For there's a Saviour born today,
C 
G 
and Jesus is His name,  (C major)  (G major) 
and Jesus is His name.
Lay down your crooks and quit your talks,
to Bethlehem prepare,
And let your wandering steps be
C 
squared by yonder shining star,  (C major) 
G 
 (G major) by yonder shining star.
Seek not in courts or palaces
your royal curtains drawn,
But search the stable,
D 
G 
C 
G 
see your God extended on  (D major)  (G major) the straw.  (C major)  (G major) 
Then learn from hence,
ye rural slaves,
The meekness of your God,
Who left the boundless realms of joy
To ransom you with blood,
To ransom you with blood.
The master of the inn refused
A more commodious place,
Ungenerous soul of savage lord,
And destitute of grace,
And destitute of grace.
Exult, deox, and lo, for joy,
Eternus of the soul,
The eurobasin's on your knees
C 
G 
Unanimously fall,  (C major)  (G major) 
Unanimously fall.
The royal guest you entertain
is not of common birth,
But, safe and in the cradle there,
C 
the God of heaven and  (C major) earth,
G 
 (G major) The God of heaven and earth.
Then suddenly a heavenly host
G 
around the shep (G major) herds drawn,
Exalting in the threefold God,
And thus address their song,
G 
And thus address  (G major) their song,
To God the Father, Christ the Son,
And Holy Ghost the God,
The first and last, the last and first,
Eternal praise afford,
Eternal praise afford.
