I hail thy kind return, Lord, make these moments blest; From the low train of mortal toys I soar to reach immortal joys, I soar to reach immortal joys. 2 Now may the King descend, And fill his throne of grace; Thy scepter, Lord, extend, While saints address thy face; Let sinners feel thy quick'ning Word, And learn to know and fear the Lord, And learn to know and fear the Lord. 3 Descend, celestial Dove, Will all thy quick'ning pow'rs; Disclose a Saviour's love, And bless these sacred hours; Then shall my soul new life obtain, Nor Sabbaths e'er be spent in vain, Nor Sabbaths e'er be spent in vain.

Bright is the tree with lights aglow, Like birds that perch together. The child that holdeth Christmas dear Shall keep these joys forever. 2 Joy comes to the all the world today, To halls and cottage hasting. Come, sparrow and dove, from roof tree tall, And share our Christmas feasting. Dance, little child, on mother’s knee, The lovely day is dawning; The road to Paradise is found The blessèd Christmas morning. 3 Once to this earth our Saviour came, An infant poor and lowly, To open for us those gardens fair Where dwell his angels holy. Christmas joy he bringeth us, The Christ-child King of heaven, 'To every little child,' he saith, 'Shall angel wings be given.' Used With Tune: CHRISTMAS BRINGS JOY
