Now to God on high be glory And to men on earth be peace 'Tis the Eucharistic anthem Music that shall never cease To a ransom'd world proclaiming Jesu's advent, men's release 2. Christendom at all her Altars Once again the tale doth tell Of His Birth, Who came to vanquish Sin and Satan, Death and Hell, Virgin-born, and Manger-cradled, Jesus our Emmanuel. 3. See the shepherds, heaven-greeted, Worship, while the Angels sing; See the Magi, star-directed, Their most costly treasures bring; See earth's simple ones and wise ones Bending o'er their Baby-King. 4. Happy Mother, ever Virgin, Mary clasps Him to her breast, All succeeding generations Speaking of her call her blest, And Saint Joseph joins with wonder In the homage of the rest. 5. Now, dear Lord, Thy Birth-day keeping, As we bend before the shrine, Find Thee life and health bestowing Veiled beneath the Bread and Wine. Make us like Thee, child-like, God-like, Keep, O keep us ever Thine. 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 # |
