Come, and Christ the Lord Be Praising
VERSE 1
Come,
and Christ the Lord be praising,
Heart
and mind to Him be raising,
Celebrate
His love amazing,
Worthy
folk of Christendom.
VERSE 2
Sin,
death, hell, may all be grieving,
Satan shame
feel to him cleaving;
We
salvation free receiving,
Cast our
every care away.
VERSE 3
See what
God for us provideth,
Life
that in His Son abideth,
And our
weary steps He guideth
From
earth’s woe to heav’nly joy.
VERSE 4
His soul
deeply for us feeleth,
He His
love to us revealeth,
He Who
is in the heavens dwelleth
Came to
save us from our foe.
VERSE 5
Jacob’s
star His advent maketh,
Soothes
the longing heart that acheth,
And the
serpent’s head He breaketh,
Scattering
the powers of hell.
VERSE 6
Op’d
hath He and freedom gained us
From the
prison that contained us,
Where
much grief and sorrow pained us,
And our
hearts were bowed with woe.
VERSE 7
O blest
hour when we received
From the
foe who us deceived
Liberty,
when we believed,
And
Thee, gracious Spirit, praised.
VERSE 8
Beauteous
Infant in the manger,
O
befriend us! beyond danger
Bring us
where is turned God’s anger
Where
with angel hosts we’ll praise.
