Angelic music fills the spheres; | |||
Earth spread the sound with decent mirth, | |||
A God is born on earth! | |||
A God is born, the valleys cry; | |||
A God is born, the hills reply; | |||
Evening repeats to wondering morn, | |||
A God on earth is born!}} | |||

Our frailties long he deigned to share, | |||
The Heir of heaven, of pain the heir. | |||
By miracles his power he proved; | |||
Preached, fasted, wept, sighed, groaned, and died. | |||
He lived that men might live in peace, | |||
He died that death and sin might cease. | |||
He rose to prove to hell's fierce power | |||
Blessed immortality is ours. | |||
O may we strive like him to live, | |||
Our friends esteem, our foes forgive; | |||
Our country love, our God adore, | |||
Till sin and death shall reign no more.}} | |||
