LyicsO you immortal throng
Of angels round the throne,
Join with our feeble song
To make the Saviour known;
On earth you know
His wondrous grace,
In heav'n ye view
His beauteous face,
In heav'n ye view
His beauteous face.
You saw the heav'nly child
In human flesh array'd;
All innocent and mild,
And in a manger laid;
And praise to God,
And peace on earth
Proclaim'd aloud
For such a birth,
Proclaim'd aloud
For such a birth,
Around the bloody tree
You press'd with strong desire,
That wondrous sight to see,
The Lord of life expire.
And cold your eyes
Have known a tear,
In sad surprise
Had dropped it there.
Around his sacred tomb
A willing watch ye keep,
Till the blest moment come
To rouse him from his sleep.
And all adored
With joy unknown
Your risen Lord.
