Come Rejoicing, Praises Voicing

Come rejoicing, praises voicing
Christmas Day is breaking
The eternal Lord supernal
Human form is taking
He is born in a stall
Now he lies, infant small
In a manger, heav'nly stranger, Lord of all
In a manger, heav'nly stranger, Lord of all

Whom the sages and the ages
Anxiously awaited
Angels proudly herald loudly
In their songs elated
Let us, too, in these days
Thankful hearts gladly raise
To the tender infant render all our praise
To the tender infant render all our prase

Child appealing, light revealing
Jesus Christ, our pleasure
God, yet very Son of Mary
Heaven's gift and treasure
Mighty king, gentle friend
As our Lord to us bend
And caressing us with blessing now descend
And caressing us with blessing now descend
