Lyrics Jesus child - City of London Sinfonia , The Cambridge Singers

Have you heard the story that they're telling 'bout Bethlehem
Have you heard the story of the Jesus child?
How he came from heaven and was born in a manger bed?
Mary was his virgin mother pure and mild.
Sing Allelulia, brothers, sing Allelulia sisters,
Worship the Jesus child and praise his mother mild.
'Glory to God' on high the angel hosts above are singing;
Listen to the story of the Jesus child.

Have you heard the story of the poor humble shepherd men,
Sitting on the hillside with their flocks at night?
Suddenly the angel tells them:
"Hurry to Bethlehem;
Go and find the Jesus child the world's new light."
Sing Allelulia, brothers, sing Allelulia sisters,
Worship the Jesus child and praise his mother mild.
'Glory to God' on high the angel hosts above are singing;
Listen to the story of the Jesus child.

Jesus child, lying at Bethlehem,
Sleeping safe at Mary's knee,
Save my soul and bring me to paradise,
Let me join the angels singing glory to thee.
Sing Allelulia, brothers, sing Allelulia sisters,
Worship the Jesus child and praise his mother mild.
'Glory to God' on high the angel hosts above are singing;
Listen to the story of the Jesus child.

Have you heard the story of the kings from the orient,
Following the star that's shining over his head?
Offering their precious gifts of gold, myrrh and frankincense,
Kneeling with the ox and ass before his bed?
Sing Allelulia, brothers, sing Allelulia sisters,
Worship the Jesus child and praise his mother mild.
'Glory to God' on high the angel hosts above are singing;
Listen to the story of the Jesus child.

Brothers let us celebrate the birth of the Jesus Child,
Sisters come and welcome him the the new-born King
Praise the Lord who sent him down from heaven at Christmas time;
Young and old and rich and poor,
His praises sing.
Sing Allelulia, brothers, sing Allelulia sisters,
Worship the Jesus child and praise his mother mild.
'Glory to God' on high the angel hosts above are singing;
Listen to the story of the Je---su--- child.
