Now, O Zion gladly raise
Songs of triumph hymns of praise,
Christ is born, (O blest of days!)
Of Maiden pure,
Our sins to cure,
And heal us.

Now let all together sing
Anthems to our new-born King.
Heaven's vaulted roof shall ring!
On high shall float
Our solemn note,
Thrice Blessed Babe.

Alleluia. God hath taken man's estate:
Banished is all fear and hate for evermore.
Open is the gate of life to all mankind.
Christ is come, let all adore.
