|
|
<p>To shepherds as they watched by night<br>
|
|
Appeared a host of angels bright;<br>
|
|
Behold the tender Babe, they said,<br>
|
|
In yonder lowly manger laid.</p>
|
|
<p>At Bethlehem, in David’s town,<br>
|
|
As Micah did of old make known;<br>
|
|
’Tis Jesus Christ, your Lord and King,<br>
|
|
Who doth to all salvation bring.</p>
|
|
<p>Oh, then rejoice that through His Son<br>
|
|
God is with sinners now at one;<br>
|
|
Made like yourselves of flesh and blood,<br>
|
|
Your Brother is the eternal God.</p>
|
|
<p>What harm can sin and death then do?<br>
|
|
The true God now abides with you.<br>
|
|
Let hell and Satan rage and chafe,<br>
|
|
Christ is your Brother—ye are safe.</p>
|
|
<p>Not one He will or can forsake<br>
|
|
Who Him his confidence doth make.<br>
|
|
Let all his wiles the Tempter try,<br>
|
|
You may his utmost powers defy.</p>
|
|
<p>Ye shall and must at last prevail;<br>
|
|
God’s own ye are, ye cannot fail.<br>
|
|
To God forever sing your praise<br>
|
|
With joy and patience all your days.</p>
