[Christmas Hymn. I.]
O that the Salvation were given unto Israel out of Sion! O that the Lord would deliver His People out of captivity! Then should Jacob rejoice, and Israel should be right glad.
Ps. liii. 7, 8.
We sing to Thee, Emmanuel,
The Prince of Life, Salvation’s Well,
The Plant of Heaven, the Star of Morn,
The Lord of lords, the Virgin-born!
All glory, worship, thanks, and praise,
That Thou art come in these our days;
Thou Heavenly Guest expected long,
We hail Thee with a joyful song.
