We celebrate the praise today, | |||
Of Godhead manifest in clay, | |||
And of a woman born! | |||
The promised Son to us is given, | |||
The glories of indulgent heaven, | |||
Our nature doth adorn. | |||
Let it be told to distant lands, | |||
How softly wrapped in swaddling-bands, | |||
And in a manger laid, | |||
Was He, whom we with joy confess, | |||
The glorious Lord, our righteousness! | |||
Born of the favored maid. | |||
Long did the saints with ardor sigh | |||
To see His day, and thus did cry, | |||
"Desire of nations, come!" | |||
More blest are we who see and prove | |||
The fullness of the Father's love, | |||
Born from the virgin's womb! | |||
The Lord Himself hath given the sign | |||
Of richest grace, and love divine, | |||
Promised of old to man; | |||
How that a virgin should conceive: | |||
The wondrous tidings we believe, | |||
And praise her first-born Son.}} | |||

{{Text|Simple| | |||
We join with angel hosts to cry, | |||
Glory to God, to God on high; | |||
Peace on rebellious Earth: | |||
To man good will abounds from heaven; | |||
The proof of all is richly given | |||
In this mysterious birth! | |||
What things are these which angels say? | |||
A Savior born! Yea, born today, | |||
In David's native town: | |||
A Savior, who is Christ the Lord; | |||
For so declares the heavenly word; | |||
Hear, wonder, and bow down! | |||
The wonderful, the holy child, | |||
The everlasting Father stilled, | |||
The mighty God art Thou; | |||
The counselor, the prince of peace, | |||
Whose glorious kingdom ne'er will cease, | |||
Nor wars, nor tumults know. | |||
The cloud on our nativity | |||
Dispels in this Thy mystery, | |||
Thou holy, undefiled: | |||
Our sinful nature's born again | |||
In this Thy birth, without a stain, | |||
And can no more be spoiled.}} | |||
