LIFT up your Heads in joyful Hope,
Salute the happy Morn;
Each Heav'nly Pow'r
Proclaims the glad Hour,
Lo Jesus the Saviour is born!

All Glory be to God on high,
To Him all Praise is due;
The Promise is seal'd,
The Saviour's reveal'd,
And proves that the Record is true.

Let Joy around like Rivers flow,
Flow on, and still increase;
Spread o'er the glad Earth
At Jesus his Birth,
For Heaven and Earth are at Peace.

Now the Good-will of Heaven is shewn
Tow'rds Adam's helpless Race;
Messiah is come
To ransom his Own,
To save them by infinite Grace.

Then let us join the Heavens above
Where hymning Seraphs sing,
Join all the glad Pow'rs,
For their Lord is Ours,
Our Prophet, our Priest, and our King.
