In the Hymn-Anthem setting of the Christmas text, the original form of the tune is given in the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th stanzas.

1.
Sing, O sing, this blessed morn,
unto us a child is born,
unto us a son is given,
God himself comes down from heaven.
Refrain:
Sing, O sing, this blessed morn,
Jesus Christ today is born.

2.
God of God and Light of Light,
comes with mercies infinite,
joining in a wondrous plan
heaven to earth and God to man.
Refrain.

3.
God with us, Emmanuel,
deigns for ever now to dwell;
he on Adam's fallen race
sheds the fullness of his grace.
Refrain.

4.
God comes down that man may rise,
lifted by him to the skies;
Christ is Son of Man that we
sons of God in him may be.
Refrain.

5.
O renew us, Lord, we pray,
with thy Spirit day by day,
that we ever one may be
with the Father and with thee.
Refrain.
