Immortal Babe, Who This Dear Day

Immortal Babe

who this dear day

Didst change Thine Heav­en for our clay

And didst with flesh Thy God­head veil

Eternal Son of God

all hail!

Shine

hap­py star

ye an­gels sing

Glory on high to Heav­en’s king;

Run

shep­herds

leave your night­ly watch

See Heav’n come down to Beth­le­hem’s cratch.

Worship

ye sag­es of the east

The King of gods in mean­ness dressed;

O bless­èd maid

with smiles ad­ore

The God thine arms

thy bo­som bore.

Star

an­gels

shep­herds

sag­es wise

Thou vir­gin glo­ry of all eyes

Restorèd frame of Heav’n and earth

Rejoice in your Re­deem­er’s birth!
