Congregational singing
Metropolitan Tabernacle, London
Text: Joseph Hart | Tune: LOVE DIVINE (Stainer)

Let us all, with grateful praises,
Join to bless the glorious morn,
When the Lord, the loving Jesus,
Into human flesh was born.

When the heavenly host, assembled,
Gazed with wonder from the sky,
Angels joyed, and devils trembled,
Neither knowing fully why.

Long had Satan reigned imperious,
Till the woman’s promised Seed,
Born a babe, by birth mysterious,
Came to bruise the serpent’s head.

Now, our Lord, we fall before Thee,
Saviour, God, we all adore;
To Thee − kingdom, power and glory
Be ascribed for evermore.

Glory to our God be given,
In the highest heights, and then
Peace on earth − proclaimed by Heaven −
Peace and great goodwill to men.
