2 Tell how He cometh; from nation to nation

The heart-cheering news let the earth echo round:
How free to the faithful He offers salvation,
His people with joy everlasting are crowned:

Shout the glad tidings, etc.
3 Mortals, your homage be gratefully bringing,

And sweet let the gladsome hosanna arise:
Ye angels, the full Alleluia be singing;
One chorus resound thro' the earth and the skies:
Shout the glad tidings, etc. Amen.

William A. MÜHLENBERG

5 All this for us Thy love hath done;

By this to Thee our love is won;
For this our joyful songs we raise;
For this we sing Thee ceaseless praise.

Amen.

3 Sing, choirs of Angels, Light of Light,

Sing in exultation,
Lo! He abhors not the Virgin's womb; Sing, all ye citizens of heav'n above:
Very God, begotten, not created;

Glory to God in the highest;
O come, etc.

0 come, etc.
4 Yea, Lord, we greet Thee,

Born this happy morning,
Jesus, to Thee be glory giv'n;
Word of the Father, now in flesh apearing;
O come, etc. Amen.

Latin Hymn, 17th Cent. Tr. FREDERICK OAKLEY

Join the tri-umph of the skies; With th' an-gel-ic host pro - claim Christ is born in

Beth-le-hem. Hark! the her-ald an-gels sing Glo-ry to the new-born King. A-men.

2 Then to the watchful shepherds it was told,
Who heard the angelic herald's voice: “Behold,
I bring good tidings of a Saviour's birth
To you and all the nations upon earth:
This day hath God fulfilled His promised word,

This day is born a Saviour, Christ the Lord.”
3 He spake; and straightway the celestial choir

In hymns of joy, unknown before, conspire
The praises of redeeming love they sang,
And heaven's whole arch with alleluias rang:
God's highest glory was their anthem still

Peace upon earth, and unto men good-will.
4 To Bethlehem straight the happy shepherds ran,

To see the wonder God had wrought for man:
And found, with Joseph and the blessèd maid,
Her Son, the Saviour, in a manger laid;

Amazed the wondrous story they proclaim,

The earliest heralds of the Saviour's name.
5 Let us, like these good shepherds, then employ

Our grateful voices to proclaim the joy;
Trace we the Babe, Who hath retrieved our loss,
From His poor manger to His bitter Cross;
Treading His steps, assisted by His grace,

Till man's first heavenly state again takes place.
6 Then may we hope, the angelic thrones among,

To sing, redeemed, a glad triumphal song;
He, that was born upon this joyful day,
Around us all His glory shall display;
Saved by His love, incessant we shall sing

Of angels and of angel-men the King. Amen. John BYROM 133 REGENT SQUARE 878.7.4.7

2 Shepherds, in the field abiding,

3 Sages, leave your contemplations, Watching o'er your focks by night,

Brighter visions beam afar; God with man is now residing,

Seek the great Desire of nations,
Yonder shines the infant-light;

Ye have seen His natal star;
Come and worship,

Come and worship,
Worship Christ, the new-born King. Worship Christ, the new-born King.

4 Saints before the altar bending,

Watching long in hope and fear,
Suddenly the Lord, descending,
In His temple shall appear;

Come and worship,
Worship Christ, the new-born King. Amen.
