Testo Come Rejoice

Bright as the sun in the dark night air

There appeared a heavenly light

To guide the wise men to the King of hope

Who was born on Christmas night
The wisdom child and his mother mild

Slept in a manger stall

In a stable low while the cattle moaned

And the angels stood their guard



Come rejoice

Queen and beggar

The homeless man
And the Prince of pride

Saints and vagabonds

Rich and poor

Rejoice in gladness on

Christmas night



Bearing their gifts every wise man knelt

Bending his knees to the King

In the heavenly light while sweet Mary smiled

They heard the angels sing

So every soul on Christmas day learns to find the Grace

With gifts of Myers' and francescence

They bless sweet Jesus face



Come rejoice

Queen and beggar

The homeless man

And the Prince of pride

Saints and vagabonds

Rich and poor

Rejoice in gladness on

Christmas night



Late tonight on a city street

some Child of woman and man

Goes to sleep on the frozen gravel

and holds an empty hand

Lift your eyes to the hopeless face

That greets you on your way

Give the tender gift of hope

Make Christmas every day.



Come rejoice

Queen and beggar

The homeless man

And the Prince of pride

Saints and vagabonds

Rich and poor

Rejoice in gladness on

Christmas night
