Verse 1

Now behold the Lamb, the precious Lamb of God, 

Who bore all my sin, that I may live again: the precious Lamb of God.

Verse 2

Holy is the Lamb, the precious Lamb of God.

Why you love me so, Lord, I shall never know; the precious Lamb of God.

Verse 3

Thank you for the Lamb, the precious Lamb of God.

Because of your grace I can finish the race; the precious Lamb of God.

Verse 1

I am so glad each Christmas Eve, the night of Jesus' birth!

Then like the sun the star shone forth, and angels sang on earth.

Verse 2

The little child in Bethlehem, he was a king indeed!

For he came down from heav'n above to help a world in need.

Verse 3

He dwells again in heaven's realm, the Son of God today;

And still he loves his little ones and hears them when they pray.

Verse 4

I am so glad each Christmas Eve! His praises then I sing;

He opens now for ev'ry child the palace of the king.

Verse 5

And so I love each Christmas Eve, and I love Jesus too;

And that he loves me ev'ry day I know so well is true.

Verse 1

Angels we have heard on high, sweetly singing o'er the plains,

And the mountains in reply, echoing their joyous strains.

Refrain

Gloria in excelsis Deo; gloria in excelsis Deo.

Verse 2

Shepherds, why this jubilee? Why your joyous strains prolong?

What the gladsome tidings be which inspire your heav'nly song? (To Refrain)

Verse 3

Come to Bethlehem and see him whose birth the angels sing;

Come, adore on bended knee Christ the Lord, the newborn king. (To Refrain)
