14.  RAISE CHRISTIANS RAISE

Raise Christians Raise your voices high
On this delightful morn,
On this delightful morn.
Let loud hosannas fill the sky,
For Christ the Lord is born,
For Christ the Lord is born,
For Christ the Lord is born.

He comes the Saviour promised long,
Shepherd of Israels' fold,
Shepherd of Israels' fold.
Sing Seraphs sing your loudest song
And strike your harps of gold,
And strike your harps of gold,
And strike your harps of gold.
