<p>We Christians may rejoice today<br>
When Christ was born to comfort and to save us.<br>
Who thus believes no longer grieves,<br>
For none are lost who grasp the hope He gave us.</p>
<p>Oh, wondrous joy that God most high<br>
Should take our flesh and thus our race should honor!<br>
A virgin mild hath borne this Child;<br>
Such grace and glory God hath put upon her.</p>
<p>Sin bought us grief, but Christ relief,<br>
When down to earth He came for our salvation.<br>
Since God with us is dwelling thus,<br>
Who dares to speak the Christian&#8217;s condemnation?</p>
<p>The hither throng with happy song<br>
To Him Whose birth and death are our assurance;<br>
Through Whom are we at last set free<br>
From sins and burdens that surpassed endurance.</p>
<p>Yea, let us praise our God and raise<br>
Loud hallelujahs to the skies above us.<br>
The bliss bestowed today by God<br>
To ceaseless thankfulness and joy should move us.</p>
