I. “Here is joy for every age.”
1
Here is joy for ev'ry age,Ev'ry generation;
Prince and peasant, chief and sage,
Ev'ry tongue and nation:
Ev'ry tongue and nation,
Ev'ry rank and station,
Hath today salvation:
Alleluia!
2
When the world drew near its close,Came our Lord and Leader;
From the Lily sprang the Rose,
From the Bush the Cedar;
6
From the judg'd the Pleader,
From the faint the Feeder:
Alleluia!
3
God, that came on earth this morn,In a manger lying,
Hallow'd birth by being born,
Vanquish'd death by dying;
Vanquish'd death by dying,
Rallied back the flying,
Ended sin and sighing:
Alleluia!
