1 Behold, the grace appears!
The promise is fulfill'd;
Mary, the wondrous virgin, bears,
And Jesus is the child!
2 To bring the glorious news,
A heavenly form appears:
He tells the shepherds of their joys,
And banishes their fears.
3 Go, humble swains; said he,
To David's city fly;
The promis'd infant, born to-day
Doth in a manger lie.
4 With looks and hearts serene,
Go, visit Christ, your King;
And strait a flaming troop was seen:
The shepherds heard them sing.
5 Glory to God on high!
And heavenly peace on earth;
Good will to men, to angels joy,
At the Redeemer's birth!
6 In worship so divine,
Let saints employ their tongues;
With the celestial host we join,
And loud repeat their songs.
7 Glory to God on high!
And Heavenly peace on earth,
Good will to men, to angels joy,
At our Redeemer's birth.
