1. Hark to the story angels are telling,
Of the birth of Jesus,
Born in a manger midst cattle lowly,
Is the Babe most holy.

2. Shepherds a-keeping watch on the hillside
Heard the wondrous story,
Knelt down in wonder, gazed at the glory
Suddenly appearing.

3. Come, all ye people, come to the manger,
Worship and adore Him;
Sing as the angels, kneel as the shepherds,
To the Christ, our Savior.

Refrain:
Sing, all ye angels,
Sing, all ye shepherds!
Sing to the little Babe in the manger;
Sing a soft hosanna,
Sing a loud hosanna,
Jesus Christ is born today.
