Refrain
Christopher Wordsworth, 1862
Sing, O sing, this blessed morn, Unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given, God himself comes down from heaven; | Sing, O sing, this blessed morn, Jesus Christ today is born. | God of God, and Light of Light, Comes with mercies infinite, Joining in a wondrous plan Heaven to earth and God to man. | God with us, Emmanuel, Deigns for ever now to dwell; He on Adam's fallen race Sheds the fullness of his grace. | God comes down that man may rise, Lifted by him to the skies; Christ is Son of man that we Sons of God in him may be. | O renew us, Lord, we pray, With thy Spirit day by day, That we ever one may be With the Father and with thee. | |
