Shelly E. Johnson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Joyously sing the news we have to tell
Born to us in the little village of Bethlehem on this day
Is the little Christ Child so pure and holy
He's sleeping there in the hay
Sing we Noel, sing we joyously Noel
Joyously sing the news we have to tell
Poor little baby, no other place was found
Except in a manger with cows and sheep around
Yet the glory of this wee baby was sung by angels so fair
There were Wise Men and shepherds to give Him honor and
bring Him presents so rare
Sing we Noel, sing we joyously Noel
Joyously sing the news we have to tell
