JESUS IS BORN!

Mourner, who goest
Heart-sick and lorn,
Here is thy comfort,
Jesus is born!
Happy one, wearing
Rose without thorn,
Deepen thy gladness,
Jesus is born!
Pilgrim, with journeying
Weary and worn,
Here is thy rest-place,
Jesus is born!
Babes whom He loveth,
Laugh ye this morn,
God's joy upon you,
Jesus is born!
Sinners unloving,
Cease ye to scorn;
Lo, for your pardon,
Jesus is born!

27

God hath fulfilled it,
Promise long-sworn:
Ring out Hosannas!
Jesus is born!
