Now the long ex­pect­ed Sav­ior,
He a veil of flesh as­sumes,
To de­stroy the pow­ers of dark­ness,
Lo! our dear Em­ma­nu­el comes,
Hallelujah, hal­le­lu­jah,
Hail the new­born Son of Man.

Now glad news of our sal­va­tion,
Angels to the shep­herds bring,
Now we view the Fa­ther’s glo­ry,
Shining in the in­fant King:
Hallelujah, hal­le­lu­jah,
Hail the new­born Son of Man.

Glory be to God Je­ho­vah,
Who so loved our fall­en race;
Sent His Son down from His bo­som,
We ad­mire the won­drous grace:
Hallelujah, hal­le­lu­jah,
Hail the new­born Son of Man.

He and on­ly He is wor­thy
To re­ceive all praise from men!
He who left His an­cient glo­ry,
That we might be born again:
Hallelujah, hal­le­lu­jah,
Hail the new­born Son of Man.

We will wor­ship and ad­ore Him,
He who put our na­ture on:
Jesus shall have all the glo­ry,
From the church of God’s first­born:
Hallelujah, hal­le­lu­jah,
Hail the new­born Son of Man.
