Away with Our Fears!

Away with our fears!

The God­head ap­pears

In Christ re­con­ciled

The Fa­ther of mer­cies

In Je­sus the Child.

He comes from ab­ove

In ma­ni­fest love;

Desire of our eyes

The meek Lamb of God in

A man­ger He lies.

Immanuel’s birth

What tri­umph on earth!

Yet could it af­ford

No bet­ter a place for

Its heav­en­ly Lord?

The An­cient of Days

To save a lost race

From glo­ry comes down;

Self-humbled to car­ry

Us up to a crown.

Made flesh for our sake

That we might par­take

The na­ture di­vine

Again in His im­age

His ho­li­ness shine.

A heav­en­ly birth

Experience on earth

And rise to His throne

And life with our Je­sus

Eternally one.

Then let us be­lieve

And glad­ly re­ceive

The tid­ings they bring

Who pub­lish to sin­ners

Their Sav­ior and king.

And while we are here

Our king shall ap­pear

His Spir­it im­part

And form His full im­age

Of love in our heart.
