Rejoice,<br />

rejoice, ye Christians,<br />

With all your hearts this morn!<br />

O hear the blessed tidings,<br />

"<strong>The</strong> Lord, the Christ, is born,"<br />

Now brought us by the angels<br />

That st<strong>and</strong> about God's throne;<br />

Oh lovely are the voices<br />

That make such tidings known.<br />

That make such tidings known.<br />

Oh hearken to their singing,<br />

"<strong>This</strong> Child shall be your Friend,<br />

<strong>The</strong> Father so hath will'd it,<br />

That thus your woes should end;<br />

<strong>The</strong> Son is freely given,<br />

That in Him ye may have<br />

<strong>The</strong> Father's grace <strong>and</strong> blessing,<br />

And know He loves to save.<br />

And know He loves to save.<br />

Nor deem the form too lowly<br />

That clothes Him at this hour;<br />

For know ye what it hideth?<br />

'Tis God's almighty power.<br />

Though now within the manger<br />

So poor <strong>and</strong> weak He lies,<br />

He is the Lord <strong>of</strong> all things,<br />

He reigns above the skies.<br />

He reigns above the skies.<br />
