Thus spake the seraph; and forthwith Of angels praising God, and thus "All glory be to God on high, : Goodwill, henceforth, from heaven to men, To Him who left His throne above, To Father and to Holy Ghost O SAVIOUR of the world forlorn, Now, Lord, be Thou in mercy nigh, O let not sleep the soul oppress, To Thee, who makest souls anew, All praise to God the Father be, 33. 8-7, 8-7, 4-7. ANGELS, from the realms of glory, Worship Christ, the new-born King. Shepherds in the field abiding, Watching o'er your flocks by night, God with man is now residing, Yonder shines the infant-light, Come and worship, Worship Christ, the new-born King. Saints before the altar bending, Worship Christ, the new-born King. B Sinners, wrung with true repentance, Worship Christ, the new-born King. Saints and angels join in praising Worship Christ, the new-born King. Amen. SHADOWS are fled, a brighter ray The Son has left His Father's throne In human form the Sinless One For us to cancel every To the whole law for man. This day that name He first did own At which the world should bow,— This day His name indeed was shown, Jesus, true Saviour, now. To Him whose precious blood was shed That guilty man might live, To our Redeemer and our Head Blessing and praise we give. Amen. THE ancient law departs, And all its terrors cease, For Jesus makes with faithful hearts The Light of Light divine, True brightness undefiled, He bears for us the shame of sin, To-day the name is Thine, At which we bend the knee; They call Thee Jesus, child divine! Our Jesus deign to be. All praise, Eternal Son, For Thy redeeming love; With Father, Spirit, ever One, In glorious might above. Amen. HAIL the day when in the sky Onward moving that bright flame Lord of Heaven! O may Thy light May it light us on the road |
