1 Sing, O sing, this blessed morn, unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given, God himself comes down from heaven. Sing, O sing, this blessed morn, Jesus Christ today is born.
2 God from God, and Light from Light, comes with mercies infinite, from high heaven he comes to earth, one with us in human birth. Sing, O sing, this blessed morn, Jesus Christ today is born.
3 God with us, Emmanuel, deigns for ever now to dwell; he on Adam’s fallen race sheds the fullness of his grace. Sing, O sing, this blessed morn, Jesus Christ today is born.
4 God comes down that we may rise, lifted by him to the skies; Christ is born for us that we born again in him may be. Sing, O sing, this blessed morn, Jesus Christ today is born.
5 O renew us, Lord, we pray, with thy Spirit day by day, that we ever one may be with the Father and with thee. Sing, O sing, this blessed morn, Jesus Christ today is born.
