Lyrics: Anna M. Molgard

Good tidings of joy abound.
The angels are all around us rejoicing,
The day long foretold has arrived at last.
The time of rejoicing is never past.
Come witness Messiah's resplendent day,
Come with us and see where He lay.

Come and see,
Come and see!
Come witness the miracle born on this day.
Make haste as you travel and do not delay.
Come savor the light that ascended this morn.
Come and see, Christ the Lord is born.

Go carry the word abroad.
He has come the beloved Son of God.
The Light that was promised shines bright today.
The heavens have opened and shown us the way.
Come witness Messiah's triumphant morn.
The Savior, hosanna, is born.

Come and see,
Come and see!
Come witness the miracle born on this day.
Make haste as you travel and do not delay.
Come savor the light that ascended this morn.
Come and see, Christ the Lord is born.

Come and see,
He lives today.
Come and hear His word.
The clear, pure hope of the Light of the World,
Come and see!
Come and see!

Come and see,
Come and see!
Come witness the miracle born on this day.
Make haste as you travel and do not delay.
Come savor the light that ascended this morn.
Come and see, Christ the Lord!
Come and see, Christ the Lord is born.

Then let us all with one accord

Born is the King of Israel!

*Mary's Lullaby

†Lullaby
By J. Frederick Keel

Sleep little Baby, I love Thee, I love Thee.
Sleep little King, I am bending above Thee.
How shall I know what to sing?
How shall I know what to sing,
Here in my arms as I swing
Thee to sleep?

Hushaby low,
Rockaby so,
Hushaby low.

Kings may have wonderful jewels to bring.
Mother has only a kiss for her King,
Only a kiss for her King.

Why should my singing so make me to weep?
Only I know that I love Thee, my little one, sleep!

Hushaby low,
Rockaby so,
Hushaby low.

Matthew 2.1-11
