Oh yes, believer! Oh yes, believer!

The angels sang when the baby born

The angels sang when the baby born
And proclaimed Him the Saviour Jesus

Oh yes, believer! Oh yes, believer!

The shepherds came where the baby born
The shepherds came where the baby born

And they say that His name was Jesus

The Wise Men saw where the baby born
And they say that His name was Jesus

He come from the glory
He come from the glorious kingdom
Oh yes, believer! Oh yes, believer!
He come from the glory
He come from the glorious kingdom
