Christmas Day Is Come

Christmas day is come, let us prepare for mirth
Which fills the heavens and earth at his amazing birth
And you, oh glorious star, that with new splendor brings
From the remotest parts three learned eastern kings

Cease you blessed angels, clamorous noise to make
Though midnight silence favors, shepherds are awake
And you, oh glorious star, that with new splendor brings
From the remotest parts three learned eastern kings

Gloria in excelsis deo

Christmas is in glory, all torment past
What 'ere betide us now grant us the same at last
Through both Thy joyous angels in strife and hurry fly
With glory and hosanna they cry

Gloria in excelsis deo
