In Bethlehem’s poor lowly dwelling
Was born such a babe
so compelling.
His message to all is so telling,
So praise God for this joyful day.
We long for the babe’s re-appearing,
His coming again could be nearing,
We long to see one so endearing,
So praise God for this joyful day.
Viva, viva,
Viva, viva Christo Rey,
Sing “Glory to God in the highest,”
And praise God for this joyful day.
(repeat)
The light from your smile
is now streaming,
Across the whole world it’s redeeming,
So wake from your sleep and your dreaming
And praise God for this joyful day.
So Jesus, while we are awaiting,
We pray that the world will stop hating,
And join in the great celebrating,
And praise God for this joyful day.
Viva, viva,
Viva, viva Christo Rey,
Sing “Glory to God in the highest,”
And praise God for this joyful day.
Viva, viva,
Viva, viva Christo Rey,
Sing “Glory to God in the highest,”
And praise God, and praise God
For this joyful day.
Joyful day, joyful day,
Joyful day, joyful day!
VIVA!
