Church Hymn Book ‎#P.XCVII.II

P.XCVII.II. The Lord is come; the heav'ns proclaim

5 The Lord is come; the heav’ns proclaim
His birth; the nations learn his name;
An unknown star directs the road
Of eastern sages to their God.

6 All ye bright armies of the skies,
Go, worship where the Saviour lies;
Angels and kings before him bow,
Those gods on high and gods below.

7 Let idols totter to the ground,
And their own worshippers confound;
But Zion shall his glories sing,
And earth confess her sov'reign king.
