Sing Ye the Songs of Praise

Sing ye the songs of praise; Je­sus is come!

High your glad voic­es raise; Je­sus is come!

Cast world­ly cares away

wor­ship and hom­age pay;

Welcome the bless­èd day

Je­sus is come!

This day in Beth­le­hem

Je­sus was born!

King of Je­ru­sa­lem

Je­sus was born!

Sun of all right­eous­ness

shin­ing and bless­ed­ness

Healing our wret­ched­ness

Je­sus was born!

Perfect God

per­fect man

born in the world!

Working His gra­cious plan

born in the world!

A man­ger must be His cot

oth­er room He had not;

Such was His low­ly lot

born in the world!

Be hum­ble

sons of men; hum­ble was Christ!

Pride ill be­comes you when hum­ble was Christ!

Never for­sake Him

your right­eous­ness make Him

As best mo­del take Him

hum­ble was Christ!

Cleanse us from all our sin

Sav­ior div­ine!

Make our thoughts pure with­in

Sav­ior di­vine!

Lo! now the her­ald sound car­ols the love pro­found

Telling of Je­sus found

Sav­ior di­vine!

Save through Thy mer­it

great Prince of Peace!

Give Thy good Spir­it

great Prince of Peace!

Let not Thy love de­part

but ho­ly gifts im­part

Born in­to ev­ery heart

great Prince of Peace!
