Lyrics

Verse 1 To shepherds as they watched by night appeared a host of angels bright; Behold the tender Babe, they said, in yonder lowly manger laid. Verse 2 At Bethlehem, in David's town, as Micah did of old make known; 'Tis Jesus Christ, your Lord and King, Who doth to all salvation bring. Verse 3 Oh, then rejoice that through His Son God is with sinners now at one; Made like yourselves of flesh and blood, your Brother is th'eternal God. Verse 4 What harm can sin and death then do? the true God now abides with you. Let hell and Satan rage and chafe, Christ is your Brother ye are safe. Verse 5 Not one He will or can forsake who Him his confidence doth make. Let all his wiles the Tempter try, you may his utmost pow'rs defy. Verse 6 Ye shall and must at last prevail; God's own ye are, ye cannot fail. To God forever sing your praise with joy and patience all your days....
