Long, long ago, the Angel throng O'er Judah's hills appearing, First chanted their immortal song In holy shepherd's hearing; And we must sing, For Christ our King, Whose love can never vary, For us was born, On Christmas morn, Of blessed Virgin Mary. [Chorus] Come, one and all, Hark to the call, Love makes for love's replying, See where He lies Who left the skies To bring us life undying. 2. Of old He was the Father's Son, On throne of glory seated: By Him God spake and it was done, When earth was first created. That loving toil The devil did spoil By Adam's ill behaviour, But God did send the sinner's Friend His Son to be our Saviour. [Chorus] 3. No common birth such hope could give, That man should save his brother: The purest maid of all that live God chose to be His mother; For as she heard The angel's word, The Spirit came upon her, And full of grace She bow'd her face, To bear such wondrous honour. [Chorus] 4. Now praise the Lord who thus did come, And in His love hath taken Away to call His children home, That none might be forsaken; The Son of God In Heav'n's above, Poss'd eternal glory: Yet He for us Was humbled thus, And that's the Christmas Story.
