- 1.
- Earth today rejoices,
- Alleluya, Alleluya, Alleluya,
- Death can hurt no more;
- And celestial voices,
- Alleluya, Alleluya, Alleluya,
- Tell that sin is o'er.
- David's sling destroys the foe:
- Samson lays the temple low:
- War and strife are done,
- God and man are one.
- 2.
- Reconciliation,
- Alleluya, Alleluya, Alleluya,
- Peace that lasts for aye.
- Gladness and salvation,
- Alleluya, Alleluya, Alleluya,
- Came on Christmas Day.
- Gideon's Fleece is wet with dew,
- Solomon is crown'd anew:
- War and strife are done.
- God and man are one.
- 3.
- Though the cold grows stronger,
- Alleluya, Alleluya, Alleluya,
- Though the world loves night,
- Yet the days grow longer,
- Alleluya, Alleluya, Alleluya,
- Chris is born our Light.
- Now the Dial's type is learnt,
- Burns the Bush that is not burnt:
- War and strife are done;
- God and man are one.
