The Cyber Hymnal ‎#7983

7983. Alleluia! Lord Most Holy

1 Alleluia! Lord most holy,
In Thy manger throne we hail Thee;
Alleluia! Meek and lowly,
Never shall our worship fail Thee.

2 Alleluia! Choirs of angels
Sing at midnight hour Thy glory,
To the watchful shepherds telling
From the skies Thy natal story.

3 Alleluia! Child of Mary,
Low the shepherds bend before Thee;
Alleluia! Eastern monarchs
With their costliest gifts adore Thee.

4 Alleluia! Still unended
Rings the angel note above;
From our altars sweetly blending
Echoes Earth’s response of love.

5 Alleluia! Shine the tapers,
Gleams the holly’s burnished spray;
Alleluia! Chant the credo,
Christ, we welcome Thee today.
