I will hast­en to Him, hast­en so glad and free;
Seek not ye pal­ace rich or grand,
Who shed His blood for me.
Praising the in­fant Mes­si­ah,
Love di­vine in­clud­ing all,
Fear not, shep­herds! glad my sto­ry,
And gold and myrrh they took there,
And gold and myrrh they took there,
Christmas gifts for great and small,
And bright­er than the sun.
To the all rul­ing tri­une God be glo­ry:
What shall I give for Thee,
Let us the pre­cious hours re­deem;

Would you know earth’s high­est hap­pi­ness?
Of the King ab­ove,
When Je­sus was asked by His serv­ants one day
Would you know earth’s high­est hap­pi­ness?

great­est

Let him be serv­ant of all;
Let him be serv­ant of all;
I will hast­en, hast­en to Him, hast­en so glad and free;
But join a low­ly pil­grim band
Died our souls to save;
Over the man­ger so low­ly
Can be mine in that de­gree
Christ is born, the Lord of Glo­ry!
There was ne’er a place on earth,
There was ne’er a place on earth,
May His bless­ings on us fall
Their high­est joy, shall be,
We, too, would praise Thee, giv­ing hon­or wor­thy
For all the trea­sures I poss­ess
Our joy, to serve and fol­low Him.
My heart doth sing for joy;
Would you know its tru­est joy­ful­ness
end
He beck­oned a lit­tle one to Him and said,
Would you know its tru­est joy­ful­ness
