Author: William Chatterton Dix Hymnal: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church #534 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Joy fills our inmost hearts today,
The royal Child is born:
And angel hosts, in glad array,
His Advent keep this morn.
Refrain:
Rejoice, rejoice! Th’Incarnate Word
Has come on earth to dwell;
No sweeter sound than this is heard:
Emmanuel.
2 Low at the cradle-throne we bend,
We wonder and adore,
And feel no bliss can ours transcend;
No joy was sweet before. [Refrain]
3 For us the world must lose its charms
Before the manger-shrine,
When, folded in Thy mother’s arms,
We see Thee, Babe Divine. [Refrain]
4 Thou Light of uncreated Light,
Shine on us, Holy Child,
That we may keep Thy Birthday bright,
With service undefiled. [Refrain]
Amen.
