Lyics

LO! he comes from the skies,

You beloved arise,

We rejoice in the day he was born:

On this festival day,

Come exulting away,

And with singing to Zion return.



With glory we praise

The original grace,

By our heavenly Father bestowed:

Our being receive,

From his bounty and live

To the honor and glory of God.



Hallelujah we sing,

Unto Jesus our King,

In the praise of his wonderful love;

To the Lamb that was slain,

Hallelujah again,

Till with angels we praise him above.
