Christ Is Born (Gething)

lyricist: G. Gething, 1864
Composer: Old air

Let heart and voice unite to sing

Christ is born.

To praise the ev­er­last­ing King

Christ is born.

The Sun of right­eous­ness ap­pears

To shine up­on this vale of tears

To chase our gloom

dis­pel our fears

Christ is born.

The Son of God des­cends to earth

Christ is born.

Angels from Heav’n pro­claim His birth

Christ is born.

Glory to God

good­will to men

And peace through­out the earth pro­claim

Jesus ap­pears in Beth­le­hem

Christ is born.

To ma­ni­fest the love of God

Christ is born.

And shed it in our hearts abroad

Christ is born.

To pour in­struct­ion on the mind

To heal the sick and lead the blind

The wan­der­ing to seek and find

Christ is born.

To ov­er­throw the pow­ers of hell

Christ is born.

And de­mons from the heart ex­pel

Christ is born.

To bear our curse up­on the tree

To take away ini­qui­ty

To set the cap­tive spir­it free

Christ is born.

To bring on earth a bright­er day

Christ is born.

To ope a new and liv­ing way

Christ is born.

That sin­ners may be brought to God

And trav­el in the nar­row road

And find in Heav’n their safe ab­ode

Christ is born.
