Of the holly and the ivy, Of frankincense and myrrh,
Of the starts in the heavens Crying out the Savior’s birth
Three wise men went to see him, the angels how they cheered
For they knew of the Savior’s birth that would bring salvation near.

CHORUS
Oh shout Hallelujah! Oh let Hosannas ring
Let us all recognize Him as the King of all kings
He’s the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end
He’s the one that the Father chose, He’s the one God chose to send.

There were shepherds in the field, watching o’er their sheep by night
Looking up toward the heavens, they saw a bright and shining light.
And there they saw an angel saying, “Do not be afraid
For I bring this good news to you, Christ the Lord is born today.”

CHORUS

Bridge:
And suddenly there with the angel, a mighty heavenly host
Praising God in the highest, “Peace on earth, good will toward men.”

(modulate)

2nd Chorus
Oh shout Hallelujah! Oh let Hosannas ring
Let us all recognize Him as the King of all kings
From the cradle to the cross, His love will never cease
He’s the one that the Father chose, He’s the mighty Prince of Peace

(Tag) He’s the mighty Prince of Peace.
