Earth amid the sound rejoices; Broods of Evil speed their flight. List - for aye sweet words of gladness Through the generations roll, Calming ev'ry mourner's sadness: "Christ is born - to save thy soul." Child Divine - what Pow'rs are round Thee! Health to man Thy Presence brings: Age by age have myriads found Thee Lord of Lords and King of Kings. 2. Born to heal what sin hath broken - Born its captives to release - Born - by Prophet-lips forespoken - Mighty God and Prince of Peace; When the Passions rage in blindness, Thou their stormy waves canst still, Turning by Thy Spell of Kindness Hate and Malice to Good-will, Child Divine - whoe'er hath known Thee Hails the joy Thy Presence brings: Thine through life - in Death we own Thee Lord of Lords and King of Kings. 3. Sing, ye hosts - triumphant thronging Round The Lamb enthroned in Light, Sing, O man - the hymn prolonging Through thy toils of hourly fight. Sing what Grace, what nameless Glory Stooped to rescue sons of Earth; Grateful spread the wondrous story, - Hail The Incarnate Saviour's Birth. Child Divine, all hearts that know Thee Know the strength Thy Presence brings, - Know what debt of Love we owe Thee, Lord of Lord and King of Kings.
