A Christmas Praise

Arnel Aquino, SJ - Norman Agatep

Sing! Rejoice in gladness! A King is born in Bethlehem!
A star in heaven descends, descends with angels' glory and praise
Let all the earth raise her voice upon Him Who is the Lord of all
Sing my soul a pah-pa-rap-pa-rap-pah
And hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah!

Ref1:
Jesus Christ is born in Bethlehem today
Behold the gentle one and say
"Our lives are Yours today!"
Receive our praise to Thee and see us raise our arms
Lord Jesus, take our arms
And bring us to the joy of Christmas today

Wake, o lonely stranger! Arise, o sleepy shepherd
Kings of all ye nations, come see the lowly manger of Christ,
Redeemer and Son of God the True One.
Come and exalt Him now!
Sing my soul a pah-pa-rap-pa-rap-pah
And alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

Ref2:
Jesus Christ is born in Bethlehem today
Behold the gentle one and pray
"My life is Yours today!"
With Mary's hand on me, I touch You with my hand
And take You in my arms, Lord Jesus.
Bring me to the joy of Christmas today!
