A full and holy cure:
The virgin bears the infant
With virgin honor pure!
Refrain:
Repeat the hymn again:
"To God on high be glory
And peace on earth to men!"
2 The Word becomes incarnate
And yet remains on high,
And cherubim sing anthems
To shepherds from the sky. [Refrain]
3 While thus they sing your monarch,
Those bright angelic bands,
Rejoice, O vales and mountains,
And oceans, clap your hands. [Refrain]
4 Since all he comes to ransom,
By all be he adored,
The infant born in Bethl'em,
The Savior and the Lord. [Refrain]
5 All idol forms shall perish,
And error's arguing,
And Christ shall wield his scepter,
Our Lord, our God, our King! [Refrain] Topics: Christmas Used With Tune: ES IST EIN ROS
