God and sinners reconciled.”
2 Joyful, all ye nations, rise;
Join the triumphs of the skies;
With th’ angelic host proclaim,
“Christ is born in Bethlehem.”
3 See, he lays his glory by;
Born that man no more may die;
Born to raise the sons of earth;
Born to give them second birth.
4 Vailed in flesh the Godhead see!
