1 Dear Savior, as we come today
To carol forth Thy praises sweet
In joyous song, we humbly pray,
Be present with us as we meet.
Refrain:
All glory to our God on high!
Peace and good will from Heav’n He sends;
Good tidings, good tidings,
Of that great joy which never ends.
2 In ages past a radiant host
In heav’nly strains the birth proclaimed
Of Him who came to save the lost,
To heal the blind, the halt, the maimed. [Refrain]
3 But now in feebler lay we greet
The dawning of fair Christmas morn;
We pour our treasures at Thy feet,
And swell the chorus, Christ is born! [Refrain]
4 “The Lord is come,” Earth gladly cries,
With joy ring out the chimes so clear!
Now wakes the anthem of the skies,
The Savior of the world is here! [Refrain]
