Christ Is Born! Tell Forth His Fame!

Christ is born! Tell forth His fame!

Christ from Heav­en! His love pro­claim!

Christ on earth! Ex­alt His name!

Sing to the Lord

O world

with ex­ul­ta­tion!

Break forth in glad thanks­giv­ing

ev­ery na­tion!

For He hath tri­umphed glor­ious­ly!

Man

in God’s own im­age made

Man

by Sa­tan’s wiles be­trayed

Man

on whom cor­rup­tion preyed

Shut out from hope of life and of sal­va­tion

Today Christ mak­eth him a new cre­ation

For He hath tri­umphed glo­ri­ous­ly!

For the Mak­er

when His foe

Wrought the crea­ture death and woe

Bowed the heav’ns

and came be­low

And in the vir­gin’s womb His dwell­ing mak­ing

Became true Man

man’s ve­ry na­ture tak­ing;

For He hath tri­umphed glo­ri­ous­ly!

He

the Wis­dom

Word

and Might

God

and Son

and Light of light

Undiscovered by the sight

Of earth­ly mon­arch

or in­fer­nal spir­it

Incarnate was

that we might Heav’n in­her­it:

For He hath tri­umphed glo­ri­ous­ly!
