Glory to our great King on high!

Luke 2. 14.


To Heav'ns Imperial Majesty!
To him that sits upon the Throne,
“The' ador'd Three-One!

II

Peace from the Prince of Peace we bring;
An Amnesty from Heavn's high King.
Who at his First-born's welcom birth
Scatters pardons round the Earth.

III

Thunders we must use no more
In which the Law was preacht before,

Exod. 19. 20.


But strive ingenuous Man to move
With mild Good-will and Heav'nly Love.
