Composed by Charles Gounod Dec. 1, 1885.
The text for the anthem is credited to the Rev. B. Webb,
and the piece was written and first performed in 1866.




O sing to God your hymns of gladness 
Ye loving hearts your tribute pay 
Your Lord is born this happy day 
Then pierce the sky with songs of gladness 
Disperse the shades of gloom and sadness 
The Lord is born this happy day 
O sing to God your hymns of gladness 
O sing to God your hymns of gladness 
Ye loving hearts your tribute pay 
Your Lord is born this happy day 
Then pierce the sky with songs of gladness 
Disperse the shades of gloom and sadness 
Your Lord is born this happy day 
O sing to God your hymns of gladness 
O Word of God for us incarnate 
O Word of God for us incarnate 
By faith we hear thine angels sing 
Thy blessed angels sing their hymns 
Thine angels sing of praise to thee their King 
We join with them in adoration 
We join with them in adoration 
We pour to thee our supplication 
That Thou would grant us, Lord, salvation

  • how lucky we are to have this gift of angelic sound

  • LOVE this movie too...This and It;s a Wonderful Life are my 2 favorite holiday movies of all time

  • Can't make movies like this anymore!

  • To me, the Robert Mitchell Choir is superior to any boys choir I have heard. There was such innocence and beauty in their music. It's a shame that there are no recordings (of which I am aware) in existence today. They could at least release a recording of their film performances. This piece has always touched me very deeply.

  • why don' we sing this hymn?

  • "O Word of God for us incarnate" says it all-awesome.

  • This is my all time favorite Christmas carol but I've never heard it sung anywhere else! Do yourself a favor and listen. Gives me chills!
