Heav'nly host to earth descended
Singing with all voices blended
"Fear not, Christ is born today."
Eastern Seers rich gifts had wrought Him
Gold, Frankincense, myrrh they brought Him
Guided by a Star, they sought Him
Prince of Life and Victory
On that Child with Mary gazing
Join ye Christians all in raising
Songs to Him, whom heav'n is praising
God incarnate, come to men
From this day's first dawn to even
Praise to Christ our King be given
By all Earth and all in Heaven
In our sweetest, loftiest strain
