If Angels Sang Our Savior’s Birth

If ang­els sang our Sav­ior’s birth

On that most bless­èd morn

Then let us imi­tate their mirth

Now He again is born.

Surrexit Chris­tus ho­die

Surrexit pro no­bis;

Surrexit Chris­tus ho­die

Gloria

Je­su Do­mi­no!

Grieve not

vain man

who mor­tal art

That thou to earth must fall;

It was His por­tion

’twas His part

Of Him who made us all.

Himself He hum­bled to the grave

Made flesh like us to show

That we as cer­tain­ly shall have

A re­sur­rect­ion too.

Then with per­pe­tu­al hymns let Christ

Who from the dead was raised

With Fa­ther and the Ho­ly Ghost

Eternally be praised.
