Drum upon the timpani

Immense our jubilation

No more restless souls have we

Go forth in celebration



Dance around the stable floor

Oh hear the bells a-ringing

News like nothing heard before

Gives substance to our singing



May you join our joyous throng

Each child of God's creation

Raise your voices loud and strong

Reach out to every nation

Infant born this sacred night

Lifts hardened hearts from sorrows

Yesterdays of fear and flight



O'er-turned by bright tomorrows

Not melancholy nor despair



Has place at our glad table

In merriment we doff our care

God's grace has made us able

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
