Text:Christ's Incarnation

CCCLIV. Christ's Incarnation

1 The Lord is come; the Heav'ns proclaim
His Birth; the Nations learn his Name;
An unknown Star directs the Road
Of eastern Sages to their God.

2 All ye bright Armies of the Skies,
Go, worship where the Saviour lies;
Angels and Kings before him bow,
Those Gods on high, and Gods below.

3 Let Idols totter to the Ground,
And their own Worshippers confound:
But Judah shout, but Zion sing,
And Earth confess her sov'reign King.
