Some say that Earth, our home, 

  is but a wanderer in space, 

And we too wander through our days, 

  far off from Heaven’s grace.

But since God sent His Son to us, 

  we never need despair—

For we, like Earth, rest quiet 

  at the center of His care.

Chorus:

Rejoice, ye faithful, sing aloud, 

  for error flees away! 

God’s Truth is born in Bethlehem 

  this joyous Christmas Day!

​

Some say the red of autumn leaves 

  exists but here below,

And why the leaves are beautiful 

  is not for us to know.

But since God sent His Son to us, 

  all colors point above

To endless Heav'nly beauty 

  which God pours out with His love.

Chorus

​

Some say that ‘Peace on Earth’ 

  is but one of our fav'rite dreams, 

And that it never can come true, 

  because of evil schemes.

But since God sent His Son to us, 

  the faithful always know

That Heav'nly Peace flows down afresh 

  in ev'ry land below

Chorus

​

Some say the moments of our lives 

  are lost in endless Time, 

And none can rise to see into 

  Eternity sublime. 

But since God sent His Son to us, 

  our times are in His hand, 

And all of them He’ll gather 

  into Heaven’s joyful land!

Rejoice, ye faithful, sing aloud, 

  for error flees away! 

God’s Truth is born in Bethlehem 

  this joyous Christmas Day!
