HYMN III.
[Angels speak, let men give ear]
Angels speak, let men give ear,
Sent from high, They are nigh,
And forbid our fear.
Sent from high, They are nigh,
And forbid our fear.
News they bring us of salvation,
Sounds of joy To employ
Every tongue and nation.
Sounds of joy To employ
Every tongue and nation.
Welcome tidings! to retrieve us
From our fall, Born for all,
Christ is born to save us.
From our fall, Born for all,
Christ is born to save us.
Born His creatures to restore,
Abject earth Sees His birth,
Whom the heavens adore.
Abject earth Sees His birth,
Whom the heavens adore.
Wrapp'd in swathes the' immortal Stranger,
Man with men, We have seen
Lying in a manger.
Man with men, We have seen
Lying in a manger.
All to God's free grace is owing;
We are His Witnesses,
Poor and nothing knowing.
We are His Witnesses,
Poor and nothing knowing.
108
Simple shepherds us He raises,
Bids us sing Christ the King,
And show forth His praises.
Bids us sing Christ the King,
And show forth His praises.
We have seen the King of Glory,
We proclaim Christ His name,
And record His story.
We proclaim Christ His name,
And record His story.
Sing we with the host of heaven,
Reconciled By a Child
Who to us is given.
Reconciled By a Child
Who to us is given.
Glory be to God the Giver,
Peace and love From above
Reign on earth for ever.
Peace and love From above
Reign on earth for ever.
