| That Christ our Saviour was born | A |
| Earth's Redeemer to save us from all danger | B |
| And as the Holy Record tells born in a manger | B |
| - | |
| Chorus | C |
| - | |
| Then ring ring Christmas bells | D |
| Till your sweet music o'er the kingdom swells | D |
| To warn the people to respect the morn | A |
| That Christ their Saviour was born | A |
| - | |
| The snow was on the ground when Christ was born | A |
| And the Virgin Mary His mother felt very forlorn | A |
| As she lay in a horse's stall at a roadside inn | E |
| Till Christ our Saviour was born to free us from sin | E |
| - | |
| Oh think of the Virgin Mary as she lay | F |
| In a lowly stable on a bed of hay | F |
| And angels watching O'er her till Christ was born | A |
| Therefore all the people should respect Christmas morn | A |
| - | |
| The way to respect Christmas time | G |
| Is not by drinking whisky or wine | H |
| But to sing praises to God on Christmas morn | A |
| The time that Jesus Christ His Son was born | A |
| - | |
| Whom He sent into the world to save sinners from hell | I |
| And by believing in Him in heaven we'll dwell | I |
| Then blest be the morn that Christ was born | A |
| Who can save us from hell death and scorn | A |
| - | |
| Then he warned and respect the Saviour dear | J |
| And treat with less respect the New Year | J |
| And respect always the blessed morn | A |
| That Christ our Saviour was born | A |
| - | |
| For each new morn to the Christian is dear | J |
| As well as the morn of the New Year | J |
| And he thanks God for the light of each new morn | A |
| Especially the morn that Christ was born | A |
| - | |
| Therefore good people be warned in time | G |
| And on Christmas morn don't get drunk with wine | H |
| But praise God above on Christmas morn | A |
| Who sent His Son to save us from hell and scorn | A |
| - | |
| There the heavenly babe He lay | F |
| In a stall among a lot of hay | F |
| While the Angel Host by Bethlehem | K |
| Sang a beautiful and heavenly anthem | L |
| - | |
| Christmas time ought to be held most dear | J |
| Much more so than the New Year | J |
| Because that's the time that Christ was born | A |
| Therefore respect Christmas morn | A |
| - | |
| And let the rich be kind to the poor | M |
| And think of the hardships they do endure | N |
| Who are neither clothed nor fed | O |
| And Many without a blanket to their bed | O |
