The angel of the Lord did say

To Joseph, Now fear not today

The angel of the Lord did say

To Joseph, Now fear not today

Take Mary to wife, begotten

Of the Spirit is her child, son

For she shall sure bring forth a Son

To be called JESUS, He the One

For she shall sure bring forth a Son

To be called JESUS, He the One

Saviour sent forth from God to earth

Making possible man's new birth

Shall save His people from theirs sins

Forgive, make them all clean within

Shall save His people from theirs sins

Forgive, make them all clean within

As spoken by prophet of old

Now let the good tidings be told

Isaiah said, a virgin shall

Bring forth a son, we know it well

Isaiah said, a virgin shall

Bring forth a son, we know it well

Shall call His name Emmanuel

God with us, rings through hill and dale
