##(Verse 1)
Come, your hearts and voices raising, Christ the Lord with gladness praising; Loudly sing His love amazing, Worthy folk of Christendom.

##(Verse 2)
Sin and death may well be groaning, Satan now may well be moaning; We, our full salvation owning, Cast our every care away.

##(Verse 3)
See how God, for us providing, Gave His Son and life abiding; He our weary steps is guiding From earth's woe to heav'nly joy.

##(Verse 4)
Christ, from heav'n to us descending And in love our race befriending, In our need His help extending, Saved us from the wily Foe.

##(Verse 5)
Jacob's Star in all its splendor Beams with comfort sweet and tender, Forcing Satan to surrender, Breaking all the pow'rs of hell.

##(Verse 6)
From the bondage that oppressed us,
From sin's fetters that possessed us,
From the grief that sore distressed us,
We, the captives, now are free.

##(Verse 7)
Oh, the joy beyond expressing
When by faith we grasp this blessing
And to Thee we come confessing,
That our freedom thou hast wrought!

##(Verse 8)
Gracious Child, we pray Thee, hear us,
From Thy lowly manger cheer us,
Gently lead us and be near us
Till we join the angelic choir.
