We Christians May Rejoice Today

We Christ­ians may re­joice to­day

When Christ was born

To com­fort and to save us.

Who thus be­lieves no long­er grieves

For none are lost

Who grasp the hope He gave us.

Oh

won­drous joy that God most high

Should take our flesh

And thus our race should hon­or!

A vir­gin mild hath borne this Child;

Such grace and glo­ry

God hath put up­on her.

Sin brought us grief

but Christ re­lief

When down to earth

He came for our sal­va­tion.

Since God with us is dwell­ing thus

Who dares to speak

The Christ­ian’s con­dem­na­tion?

The hi­ther throng with hap­py song

To Him whose birth

And death are our as­sur­ance;

Through whom are we at last set free

From sins and bur­dens

That sur­passed en­dur­ance.

Yea

let us praise our God and raise

Loud hal­le­lu­jahs to the skies above us.

The bliss be­stowed to­day by God

To cease­less thank­ful­ness

And joy should move us.
