CXII. Immanuel is Born

1 Arise and hail the happy day,
Cast all low cares of life away,
And thought of meaner things:
This day to cure our deadly woes,
The Son of Righteousness arose,
With healing in his wings.

2 If angels on that happy morn,
The Saviour of the world was born,
Pour'd forth their joyful songs;
Much more should we of human race,
Adore the wonders of his grace,
To whom the grace belongs.

3 O then let heav'n and earth rejoice,
Let ev'ry creature join his voice,
To hymn that happy day;
Where Satan's empire vanquish'd fell,
And all the pow'rs of death and hell,
Confess'd his sov'reign sway.
