Mary, Joseph,

Angels,

Wisemen,

Shepherds,

Why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be?
Which inspire your heav’nly song?

​

In Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by Name.

Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing

Veiled in flesh the Godhead see
Hail the incarnate Deity

Worship Him, God most high
 

In Bethlehem, in Israel,
This blessed Babe was born
And laid within a manger
Upon this blessed morn

Where ox and lamb are feeding
Why lies he in such mean estate?

 

Mild He lays His glory by

God with man is now residing,

Pleased as man with man to dwell
Jesus, our Emmanuel

He knows our need, to our weakness no stranger,

Close by me forever
In all our trials born to be our friend.

 

The King of kings lay in lowly manger;

Christ the everlasting Lord!

King forever, ceasing never
Over us all to rein

Christ, the Lord, the new-born King.

Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth

Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth

 

The King of kings, salvation brings

O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free
Thine own from Satan's tyranny
From depths of Hell Thy people save

Cast out our sin and enter in

For sinners here
The silent Word is pleading

Christ, the Savior is born

Christ, the Savior is born

Hail the Son of Righteousness!
Nails, spear shall pierce Him through

The cross be born for me, for you

Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb
And wonders of His love,
And wonders, wonders, of His love.

 

Glorious now behold Him arise
With the dawn of redeeming grace

Light and life to all He brings

And death's dark shadows put to flight.
Born that man no more may die

And give them victory o'er the grave
Born to raise the sons of earth

And take us to heaven
To live with Thee there
 

Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee

With us sing our Savior's birth

Yea, Lord, we greet Thee,
Born this happy morning;

 

Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy name.

Joy, joy for Christ is born

King and God and Sacrifice

Raise, raise the song on high

Jesus, to Thee be glory giv’n

Alleluia, Alleluia
Earth to heav'n replies
