 Rise to adore the mystery of love

 Of God incarnate and the virgin’s Son.Then to the watchful shepherds it was told, 
 Who heard th’angelic herald’s voice, “Behold,
 I bring good tidings of a Savior’s birth
 To you and all the nations of the earth;
 This day hath God fulfilled His promised Word;
 This day is born a Savior, Christ the Lord.”He spoke; and straightaway the celestial choir 
 In hymns of joy, unknown before, conspire;
 The praises of redeeming love they sang,
 And Heav’n’s whole orb with alleluias rang.
 God’s highest glory was their anthem still,
 Peace on the earth and unto men good will.To Bethl’hem straight th’enlightened shepherds ran 
 To see the wonder God had wrought for man
 And found, with Joseph and the blessèd maid,
 Her Son, the Savior, in a manger laid;
 Then to their flocks, still praising God, return,
 And their glad hearts with holy rapture burn.Like Mary let us ponder in our mind 
 God’s wondrous love in saving lost mankind!
 Trace we the Babe, who hath retrieved our loss,
 From His poor manger to His bitter cross,
 Tread in His steps, assisted by His grace,
 Till man’s first heav’nly state again takes place.Then may we hope, th’angelic hosts among, 
 To sing, redeemed, a glad triumphal song.
 He that was born upon this joyful day
 Around us all His glory shall display.
 Saved by His love, incessantly we sing
 Eternal praise to Heav’n’s almighty King.Play source: Cyberhymnal

 The world has suffered long;
 Beneath the angel strain have rolled
 Two thousand years of wrong;
 And man, at war with man, hears not
 The love-song which they bring;

 And hear the angels sing.And ye, beneath life’s crushing load, 
 Whose forms are bending low,
 Who toil along the climbing way
 With painful steps and slow,
 Look now! for glad and golden hours
 Come swiftly on the wing.
 O rest beside the weary road,
 And hear the angels sing!For lo! the days are hastening on, 
 By prophet-bards foretold,
 When with the ever circling years
 Comes round the age of gold;
 When peace shall over all the earth
 Its ancient splendors fling,

 It is the night of the dear Savior’s birth!

 That Thou must choose Thy infant bed
 Where ass and ox but lately fed!Were earth a thousand times as fair, 
 Beset with gold and jewels rare,

 That this world’s honor, wealth and might
 Are naught and worthless in Thy sight.Ah, dearest Jesus, holy Child,

 The sinner’s friend, the mourner’s rest;
 For coming thus to grief and me,
 How can I thank Thee worthily?Ah! mighty Lord, who madest all, 
 How couldst Thou make Thyself so small,
 To lie upon the coarse dry grass,
 The food of humble ox and ass?And were the world ten times as wide, 
 With gold and jewels beautified,
 It would be far too small to be
 A little cradle, Lord, for Thee?Thy silk and velvet are coarse hay, 
 Thy swaddling bands the mean array,
 With which e’en Thou, a King so great,
 Art clad as with a robe of state.And thus, perhaps, it pleaseth Thee 
 To make this truth quite plain to me,
 That worldly honor, wealth, and might
 Are mean and worthless in Thy sight.Ah! Jesus, lay Thy gentle head, 
 And make Thyself a clean, soft bed
 Here in the corner of my heart,
 That I and Thou may never part.So will I ever joyful be, 
 And sing and dance right merrily,
