Let us duly keep the feast Sweetest hymns outpouring; Jesus, Lord of Heaven, to day Joyfully adorning. 2. For by these solemnities All things new are glowing, They upon the human race Are rewards bestowing. 3. Out of darkness comes the Child, Light all light excelling, On the eighth day circumcised, As this day is telling. 4. These things did the Fathers old Shew forth, prophesying How the Flesh of God today 'Neath the knife is lying. 5. Circumcision this eighty day Joyfully declareth Under figures, how mankind In salvation shareth. 6. Therefore we must circumcise Not our flesh, but gaining Victory over self, cut off Sins our conscience staining. 7. That our carnal mind o'ercome, For the guerdon sighing, On the eighth day we may win Heavenly Joy undying. Browse Carols: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z # |
