Author: | Anon. |
Rejoice, rejoice, ye Christians,
With all your hearts this morn!
O hear the blessed tidings,
"The Lord, the Christ, is born,"
Now brought us by the angels
That stand about God's throne;
Oh lovely are the voices
||:That make such tidings known.:||
Oh hearken to their singing,
"This Child shall be your Friend,
The Father so hath will'd it,
That thus your woes should end;
The Son is freely given,
That in Him ye may have
The Father's grace and blessing,
||:And know He loves to save.:||
Nor deem the form too lowly
That clothes Him at this hour;
For know ye what it hideth?
'Tis God's almighty power.
Though now within the manger
So poor and weak He lies,
He is the Lord of all things,
||:He reigns above the skies.:||
Sin, Death, and Hell, and Satan
Have lost the victory;
This Child shall overthrow them,
As ye shall surely see;
Their wrath shall nought avail them,
Fear not, their reign is o'er;
This Child shall overthrow them,--
||:Oh hear and doubt no more.":||
