Now yield we thanks and praise
To Christ en­throned in glo­ry,
And on this day of days
Tell out re­demp­tion’s sto­ry,
Who tru­ly have believed
That on this bless­èd morn,
In ho­li­ness con­ceived,
The Son of God was born.

What tri­bute shall we pay
To Him who came in weak­ness,
And in a man­ger lay
To teach His peo­ple meek­ness?
Let ev­ery house be bright;
Let prais­es ne­ver cease;
With mer­cies in­fi­nite
Our Christ hath brought us peace.
