While the an­gel chor­us wakes the si­lent night?
Some glad day we shall dwell
He doth no earth­ly king­dom seek
To Thy tem­ple ho­ly, come we now with praise;
Hail to­day King Je­sus,
That jus­tice may on earth be done,
O hope of ev­ery con­trite heart,

the meek

This is He that com­eth—God’s be­lov­èd Son:
When this life and its tri­als are o’er;
Led by the star, the wise men find
To Thy courts as­cend­ing, though un­wor­thy we;
Let the praise of earth and sky,
Then ov­er mount­ain side and plain
To those who fall, how kind Thou art!
