1. Ye nations all, on you I call, | |||
Come hear this declaration, | |||
And don’t refuse this glorious news | |||
Of Jesus and salvation. | |||
To royal Jews came first the news | |||
Of Christ the great Messiah, | |||
As was foretold by prophets old, | |||
Isaiah, Jeremiah. | |||
2. To Abraham the promise came, | |||
And to his seed for ever, | |||
A light to shine in Isaac's line, | |||
By scripture we discover; | |||
Hail, promised morn! the Savior’s born, | |||
The glorious Mediator, | |||
God's blessed Word made flesh and blood, | |||
Assumed the human nature. | |||
3. His parents poor in earthly store, | |||
To entertain the stranger | |||
They found no bed to lay his head, | |||
But in the ox’s manger; | |||
No royal things, as used by kings, | |||
were seen by those that found him, | |||
But in the hay the stranger lay, | |||
With swaddling bands around him.}} | |||

4. On the same night a glorious light | |||
To shepherds there appeared, | |||
Bright angels came in shining flame, | |||
They saw and greatly feared; | |||
The angels said, Be not afraid, | |||
Although we much alarm you. | |||
We do appear good news to bear, | |||
As now we will inform you. | |||
5. The city’s name is Bethlehem, | |||
In which God hath appointed, | |||
This glorious morn a Savior’s born, | |||
For him God hath anointed ; | |||
By this you’ll know, if you will go, | |||
To see this little stranger. | |||
His lovely charms in Mary’s arms, | |||
Both lying in a manger. | |||
6. When this was said, straightway was made | |||
A glorious sound from heaven, | |||
Each flaming tongue an anthem sung, | |||
To men a Savior's given, | |||
In Jesus’ name, the glorious theme. | |||
We elevate our voices, | |||
At Jesus’ birth be peace on earth, | |||
Meanwhile all heaven rejoices.}} | |||

7. Then with delight they took their flight, | |||
And winged their way to glory. | |||
The shepherds gazed and were amazed, | |||
To hear the pleasing story . | |||
To Bethlehem they quickly came, | |||
The glorious news to carry, | |||
And in the stall they found them all, | |||
Joseph, the Babe, and Mary. | |||
8. The shepherds then returned again, | |||
To their own habitation, | |||
With joy of heart they did depart, | |||
Now they have found salvation. | |||
Glory, they cry, to God on high, | |||
Who sent his Son to save us: | |||
This glorious morn the Savior's born, | |||
His name it is Christ Jesus.}} | |||
