Author: Jane Joseph, 1894-1929 Hymnal: Hymnal Supplement 98 #809 (1998) Meter: 6.6.6.6.6 with refrain Lyrics: 1 On this day earth shall ring
With the song children sing
To the Lord, Christ our King,
Born on earth to save us;
God in Him forgave us;
Refrain:
Ideo-o-o, ideo-o-o, ideo gloria in excelsis Deo!
2 His the doom, ours the mirth;
When He came down to earth,
Bethlehem saw His birth;
Ox and ass beside Him
From the cold would hide Him. [Refrain]
3 God's bright star, o'er His head,
Wise men three to Him led,
Kneel they low by His bed,
Lay their gifts before Him,
Praise Him and adore Him. [Refrain]
4 On this day angels sing;
With their song earth shall ring,
Praising Christ, heaven's King,
Born on earth to save us;
Peace and love He gave us. [Refrain] Topics: Christmas; Epiphany Scripture: Matthew 2:1-12 Languages: English Tune Title: PERSONENT
