<p>Behold, the grace appears!<br>
The promise is fulfilled;<br>
Mary, the wondrous virgin, bears,<br>
And Jesus is the Child.
<p>The Lord, the highest God,<br>
Calls Him His only Son;<br>
He bids Him rule the lands abroad,<br>
And gives Him David&#8217;s throne.</p>
<p>O&#8217;er Jacob shall He reign<br>
With a peculiar sway;<br>
The nations shall His grace obtain,<br>
His kingdom ne&#8217;er decay.</p>
<p>To bring the glorious news<br>
A heav&#8217;nly form appears;<br>
He tells the shepherds of their joys,<br>
And banishes their fears.</p>
<p>&#8220;Go, humble swains,&#8221; said he,<br>
&#8220;To David&#8217;s city fly;<br>
The promised Infant born today<br>
Doth in a manger lie.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;With looks and hearts serene,<br>
Go visit Christ your King;<br>
And straight a flaming troop was seen:<br>
The shepherds heard them sing:</p>
<p>&#8220;Glory to God on high!<br>
And heav&#8217;nly peace on earth;<br>
Goodwill to men, to angels joy,<br>
At the Redeemer&#8217;s birth!&#8221;</p>
<p>In worship so divine,<br>
Let saints employ their tongues;<br>
With the celestial hosts we join,<br>
And loud repeat their songs:</p>
<p>&#8220;Glory to God on high!<br>
And heav&#8217;nly peace on earth;<br>
Goodwill to men, to angels joy,<br>
At our Redeemer&#8217;s birth!&#8221;</p>
