1. Little children, can you tell,
Do you know the story well,
Every girl and every boy,
Why the angels sing for joy,
On the Christmas morning?
2. Yes, we know the story well;
Listen now, and hear us tell
Every girl and every boy,
Why the angels sing for joy,
On the Christmas morning!
3. Christ, the Babe, on Christmas day,
Cradled in a manger lay,
Born on earth our Lord to be;
This the wondering angels see
On the Christmas morning!
