Little children, can you say—Why you’re glad on Christmas-day?

Little children, can you tell—Why you hear the sweet church-bell?

Can you tell us who was born—

Early on the Christmas morn?

I hope you will at once reply, Yes, we are glad, and we know why:

The day is joyful upon earth, in honour of a Saviour’s birth.

Angels came from heaven to say,

That Christ was born on Christmas day.

Christ is our Saviour, and we know, when little children to Him go,

For all the good He gives, to pray, He will not turn his face away!

His word in God’s own book we see,

“Let little children come to me.”
