Words

  1. 1Sing, O sing, this blessed morn, Unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is giv'n, God Himself comes down from Heav'n. Sing, O sing, this blessed morn, Jesus Christ today is born.
  2. 2Jesus Christ, the King of kings, Maker of all worldly things, Now descends from Heav'n to Earth, To re-store us by His birth;
  3. 3God of God, and Light of Light, Comes with mercies infinite; Joining in a wondrous plan Heav'n to earth and God to Man;
  4. 4God with us, Emmanuel, Deigns for ever now to dwell; He on Adam's fallen race Sheds the fullness of His Grace;
  5. 5Truth and Mercy show their face, And with loving kiss embrace; Righteousness looks down from Heav'n, God is pleased and Man forgiv'n;
  6. 6God comes down that man may rise, Lifted far above the skies He is Son of Man, that we Sons of God in Him may be;
  7. 7Human flesh is now become Christ's abode, the Godhead's home; Royal Palace, sacred shrine For the Majesty Divine;
  8. 8Now we rise, from prison free; On we march to victory, Joyful banners are unfurled; 'Tis the Birthday of the World;
  9. 9Now behold the rising Sun Hath His glorious race begun; Now the Bridegroom from above Weds the Bride, with heavenly love;
  10. 10O renew us, Lord, we pray, With Thy Spirit day by day; That we ever one may be With the Father, and with Thee;
  11. 11Sing, O sing this blessed Morn, Jesus Christ to-day is born; Glory to the Father give, Praise the Son in whom we live; Glory to the Spirit be, Godhead One, and Persons Three.
