Tune: God rest ye merry
(\'God rest ye merry, gentlemen\')
*********
Good Christmas cheer, the Lord is here
He does to us appear
In human form now in His Son
He be the Promised One
The Messiah, the Saviour sure
Saves us from sin e\'ermore
Chorus
O praises now to Christ the King
Let all now sing
O praises now to Christ the King
His light does dawn that all may see
And all redeemed may be
He the Dayspring, o\'ercomes darkness
Comes unto us to bless
He shall fulfil the prophecies
Made by the prophets these - Chorus
Light of the world, bring peace we pray
In these our troubled days
Spirit reside within hearts, show
More of Christ, may we know
And follow him, empowered by
Your presence, no deny - Chorus
And on through life, your salvation
Hope unto each nation
Sinless One, you the price would pay
For our sins, make the way
Open for us that we may come
To God, there find our home - Chorus
