1. On this day earth shall ring
With the song children sing
To the Lord, Christ our King,
Born on earth to save us;
Him the Father gave us.

2. His the doom, ours the mirth;
When He came down to earth,
Bethlehem saw His birth;
Ox and ass beside Him
From the cold would hide Him.

3. God’s bright star, o’er His head,
Wise Men three to Him led;
Kneel they low by His bed,
Lay their gifts before Him,
Praise him and adore Him.

4. On this day angels sing;
With their song earth shall ring,
Praising Christ, heaven’s King,
Born on earth to save us;
Peace and love He gave us.

Refrain:
Id-e-o-o-o, id-e-o-o-o,
Id-e-o gloria in excelsis Deo!
