Author: Philip Doddridge Appears in 57 hymnals Lyrics: 1 High let us swell our tuneful notes
And join th'angelic throng;
For angels no such love have known
T'awake a cheerful song;
For angels no such love have known
T'awake a cheerful song.
2 Good will to guilty men is shown,
And peace on earth is given;
For lo! the incarnate Saviour comes,
A messenger from heaven,
For lo! the incarnate Saviour comes,
A messenger from heaven.
3 Justice and grace, with sweet accord,
His rising beams adorn:
Let heaven and earth in concert join,
Now such a Child is born,
Let heaven and earth in concert join,
Now such a Child is born.
4 Glory to God, in highest strains,
In highest worlds be paid!
His glory by our lips proclaimed,
And by our lives displayed.
His glory by our lips proclaimed,
And by our lives displayed.
5 When shall we reach those blissful realms,
Where Christ exalted reigns,
And learn of yon celestial choir
Their own immortal strains?
And learn of yon celestial choir
Their own immortal strains?
Amen. Topics: Angels; Christ First Advent; Christ Joy of believers in; Christ Mission of; Christmas Used With Tune: ZERAH
