|
No more sadness now, nor fasting, |
|
Now we put our grief away; |
|
God came down, the Everlasting, |
|
Taking human flesh to-day. |
|
God came down on earth a stranger, |
|
Working out His mighty plan; |
|
God was cradled in a manger, |
|
Very God and very man. |
|
There were shepherds once abiding, |
|
In the field to watch by night. |
|
And they saw the clouds dividing; |
|
And the sky above was bright. |
|
And a glory shone around them, |
|
On the grass as they wore laid; |
|
And a holy Angel found them, |
|
And their hearts were sore afraid. |
|
"Fear ye not," he said, "for cheerful |
|
Are the tidings that I bring, |
|
Unto you, so weak and fearful, |
|
Christ is born, the Lord and King" |
|
As the Angel told the story |
|
Of the Saviour's lowly birth, |
|
Multitudes were singing "Glory |
|
Be to God, and peace on earth." |
|
Angel choir sing Hallelujah |
|
God's redeeming love proclaim |
|
Let Thy Church, in every nation, |
|
Sing the glory of Thy name. |
|
