|
|
<p>Christians, sing out with exultation,<br>
|
|
And praise your Benefactor’s Name!<br>
|
|
Today the Author of salvation,<br>
|
|
The Father’s well belovèd came.<br>
|
|
Of undefilèd virgin mother<br>
|
|
An Infant, all divine, was born,<br>
|
|
And God Himself became your Brother<br>
|
|
Upon this happy Christmas morn.</p>
|
|
<p>In Him eternal might and power<br>
|
|
To human weakness hath inclined;<br>
|
|
And this poor Child brings richest dower<br>
|
|
Of gifts and graces to mankind.<br>
|
|
While here His Majesty disguising,<br>
|
|
A servant’s form the Master wears,<br>
|
|
Behold the beams of glory rising,<br>
|
|
E’en from His poverty and tears.</p>
|
|
<p>A stable serves Him for a dwelling,<br>
|
|
And for a bed a manger mean;<br>
|
|
Yet o’er His head, His advent telling,<br>
|
|
A new and wondrous star is seen.<br>
|
|
Angels rehearse to men the story,<br>
|
|
The joyful story of His birth;<br>
|
|
To Him they raise the anthem—“Glory<br>
|
|
To God on high, and peace on earth!”</p>
|
|
<p>For through this holy Incarnation<br>
|
|
The primal curse is done away;<br>
|
|
And blessèd peace o’er all creation<br>
|
|
Hath shed its pure and gentle ray.<br>
|
|
Then, in that heavenly concert joining,<br>
|
|
O Christian men, with one accord,<br>
|
|
Your voices tunefully combining,<br>
|
|
Salute the birthday of your Lord!</p>
