English text
- 1.
- O Christians, with triumphant glee,
- Exalt your Benefactor's Name;
- Today, with love and mercy free,
- The Father's well-beloved came.
- For you upon this blessed morn,
- Of Virgin Mother undefiled,
- An Infant all Divine is born,
- And God becomes a little Child.
- 2.
- In Him eternal power and might
- To human weakness hath inclined,
- And brightened with transcendent light
- The low estate of lost mankind;
- Appearing in such humble guide,
- A servant's form the Master wears,
- Yet see what beams of glory rise,
- E'en from His poverty and tears!
- 3.
- No palace hath He but a shed,
- No cradle but a manger mean:
- Yet o'er that peerless Infant's Head
- A new and wondrous star is seen.
- The precious tidings of His Birth
- By angels unto man are given,
- To Him they chant with holy mirth,
- "Glory to God in highest heaven!"
- 4.
- From fallen man, the Lord above
- His anger sore hath turned away:
- Henceforth His blessed peace and love
- Shall rule the earth with gentle sway.
- Then, Christian men, with one accord,
- In that angelic strain unite,
- And welcome your Incarnate Lord,
- Made manifest to mortal sight.
- 5.
- With Monarchs from the East draw near,
- And glorify the Infant King;
- To Him a fitting tribute bear,
- True hearts, above all, offering.
- For more He loved to behold
- Hearts filled with Faith and Charity,
- Than gifts of frankincense and gold
- From distant shores of Araby.
