2 Tell how He cometh; from nation to nation,
The heart-cheering news, let the earth echo round;
How free to the faithful He offers salvation,

How His people with joy everlasting are crowned.
Shout the glad tidings, &c.

3 Mortals, your homage be gratefully bringing,
And sweet let the gladsome hosanna arise;
Ye angels, the full hallelujah be singing;

One chorus resound through the earth and the skies.
Shout the glad tidings, &c.

Rev. William Augustus Muhlenberg (1796-1877), 1826.

2 Cold on His cradle the dew-drops are shining,
Low lies His head with the beasts of the stall;
Angels adore Him in slumber reclining,

Maker, and Monarch, and Saviour of all.

3 Say, shall we yield Him, in costly devotion,
Odors of Edom, and offerings divine,
Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean,
Myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine?

4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation;

Vainly with gifts would His favor secure :
Richer by far is the heart's adoration;

Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.

5 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning,
Dawn on our darkness, and lend us Thine aid

2 Shepherds, in the field abiding,
Watching o'er your flocks by night,
God with man is now residing;
Yonder shines the infant-light;
Come and worship,
Worship Christ, the new-born King.

3 Sages, leave your contemplations,
Brighter visions beam afar;
Seek the great Desire of nations;
Ye have seen His natal star:

Come and worship, Worship Christ, the new-born King. 4 Saints before the altar bending,

Watching long in hope and fear,
Suddenly the Lord, descending,
In His temple shall appear:

Come and worship,
Worship Christ, the new-born King.
James Montgomery (1771-1854), 1819, 1825. Ab. and alt.

Christ's Coming.

I JESUS came, the Heavens adoring,
Came with peace from realms on high;
Jesus came for man's redemption,
Lowly came on earth to die:
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Came in deep humility.

2 Jesus comes to hearts rejoicing,
Bringing news of sins forgiven;
Jesus comes in sounds of gladness,
Leading souls redeemed to Heaven:
Hallelujah Hallelujah!
Now the gate of death is riven.

3 Jesus comes in joy and sorrow,
Shares alike our hopes and fears;
Jesus comes whate'er befalls us,
Glads our hearts, and dries our tears:
Hallelujal Hallelujah!
Cheering e'en our failing years.
