Jesus Is Born

Representative Text

1 Sing, sing, ye seraphs white,
Jesus is born!
Past is the dreary night,
Bright is the dawn.
Hail! Star of Bethlehem!
Light of the prophet's dream,
Hope now both brightly beam,
Jesus is born!

2 Sing, sing, ye ransomed race,
Jesus is born!
Hail! Sun of Righteousness!
Jesus is born!
Glory, O God above,
Bringing our souls release,
Bidding our sorrows cease,
Jesus is born!

3 Peace and good will to men,
Jesus is born!
Cleanse now the sinner's stain,
Jesus is born!
Glory, O God above,
For his unbounded love;
Christ shall our sins remove,
Jesus is born!

4 Hope shines from Calvary,
Jesus hath died!
He washed my sins away,
Jesus hath died!
Praise to the Lamb of God,
Our reascended Lord,
By heaven and earth adored,
Jesus is mine!
