lyrics
God, that came on earth this morn,
In a manger lying,
Hallow'd birth by being born,
Vanquish'd death by dying
Vanquish'd death by dying,
Rallied back the flying,
Ended sin and sighing
Alleluia !
When the world drew near its close.
Came our Lord and Leader
From the Lily sprang the Rose,
From the Bush the Cedar
From the Bush the Cedar,
From the judg'd the Pleader,
From the faint the Feeder
Alleluia !
Here is joy for ev'ry age,
Ev'ry generation
Prince and peasant, chief and sage
Ev'ry tongue and nation
Ev'ry tongue and nation,
Ev'ry rank and station,
Hath today salvation
Alleluia!
