the

G 
birth.
 
Long lay the world in  
C 
sin and error  
G 
pining, 
 
 
G7 
 
till He ap

peared and the  
Gb 
soul felt its  
Bm 
worth.
 
A

thrill of hope the  
G 
weary world rejoices,
 
for  
D7 
yonder breaks a  
G 
new and glorious morn.

Truly He taught us  
C 
to love one a

nother,
 
His law is  
G

Chains he shall break, for the

brother
 
and in His  
Bm/Gb 
name all op

pression shall  
Bm 
cease.
 
Sweet
