COME ALL YOU TRUE GOOD CHRISTIANS.

1Come all you true good Christians,
That liveth here on earth,
O salutate the morning
Of our Blessed Saviour's birth.
This is the happy morning!
This is the blessed morn!
To save us all from ruin
The Son of God was born.

2Come, Christians all, behold the Lamb,
That on this day was born;
O come and praise His Holy Name
And usher in the morn.
This is the happy, etc.

3Now to the Father, to the Son,
Be praise and glory giv'n;
Let saints on earth with angels join
The harmony of heaven.
This is the happy morning!
This is the blessed morn!
To save us all from ruin
The Son of God was born.
