Earth today rejoices,
Alleluya, Alleluya, Alleluya,
Death can hurt no more;
And celestial voices,
Alleluya, Alleluya, Alleluya,
Tell that sin is o'er
David's sling destroys the foe:
Samson lays the temple low:
War and strife are done,
God and man are one

Reconciliation,
Alleluya, Alleluya, Alleluya,
Peace that lasts for aye
Gladness and salvation,
Alleluya, Alleluya, Alleluya,
Came on Christmas Day
Gideon's Fleece is wet with dew,
Solomon is crown'd anew:
War and strife are done
God and man are one

Though the cold grows stronger,
Alleluya, Alleluya, Alleluya,
Though the world loves night,
Yet the days grow longer,
Alleluya, Alleluya, Alleluya,
Chris is born our Light
Now the Dial's type is learnt,
Burns the Bush that is not burnt:
War and strife are done;
God and man are one
