Lyics

REJOICE in Jesus's birth!

To us a Son is given,

To us a Child is born on earth,

Who made both earth and heaven!



He reigns above the sky,

This universe sustains--

The Lord supreme--the Lord most high,

The king Messiah reigns!



Th' almighty Lord--is he,

Author of heavenly bliss!

The Father of Eternity,

The glorious Prince of Peace!



His government shall grow,

From strength to strength proceed;

His righteousness the church o'erflow,

And all the earth o'erspread.
