No witch hath power to charm the hour
Which marks our Saviour's birth,
No eery ghosts, no armed hosts
Of evil ride the earth.
Hallelujah!

So hallowed then, the time again,
That naught but pure thought thrives,
The dawn of day proclaims Love's sway,
And good alone survives.
Hallelujah!

The angel's word which shepherds heard
Hath been in truth fulfilled,
What wise men sought this hour hath brought,
As God Himself hath willed.
Hallelujah!

Let Heralds sing that Christ is King,
Go, demons, hide in fear,
Your reign is o'er, and ever more
The Saviour reigneth here.
Hallelujah!
