    Good-will to mortals below, tidings of joy and love;

    Low in a manger the Saviour, born with the message of love.

    Wonderful story of love.

    E’en from the dawn of creation, He is the crystal bright fountain,
    Wise men declare it with wonder, wonderful story of love.

3. Bethlehem’s story of love, light to the nations far,
    Fear not a virgin shall bear – luminous Morning Star,

4. Bethlehem’s story of love, Creator from above,
    Only Begotten of God, sent to the world, through love,
    Brought us this message eternal, life through the Gospel immortal
