Christians, Sing Out with Exultation

Author: Henry L. Jenner; Benedict Pictet Meter: 9.8.9.8 D Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christians, sing out with exultation, And praise your Benefactor’s name! Today the Author of salvation, The Father’s Well-beloved, came. Of undefiled virgin mother An Infant all divine was born, And God Himself became your Brother Upon this happy Christmas morn. 2 In Him eternal might and power To human weakness hath inclined; And this poor Child brings richest dower Of gifts and graces to mankind. While here, His majesty disguising, A servant’s form the Master wears, Behold the beams of glory rising, E’en from His poverty and tears. 3 A stable serves Him for a dwelling And for a bed a manger mean; Yet o’er His head, His advent telling, A new and wondrous star is seen. Angels rehearse to men the story, The joyful story of His birth; To Him they raise the anthem--"Glory To God on high and peace on earth!" 4 For thro' this holy incarnation The primal curse is done away; And blessed peace o’er all creation Hath shed its pure and gentle ray. Then, in that heav'nly concert joining, O Christian men, with one accord, Your voices tunefully combining, Salute the birthday of your Lord! Amen.
