HYMN 63.

Lamb of God! that in the bosom
⁠Of the Father dwellest high,
Deign to visit humble sinners,
⁠From Thy rest above the sky.
God incarnate! leave Thy glory,
⁠Nor abhor the virgin's womb;
Spread salvation like a river;
⁠Jesus, let Thy kingdom come.

Shepherds did you see him coming,
⁠Whilst you kept your flocks by night?
Did you see his star in Heaven,
⁠Blaze with new-created light.
Haste ye Magi, come and worship,
⁠See the orient star before!
Bring your presents, gold and spices,
⁠Blest Arabia's balmy store.

All ye joyous host of Heaven
⁠Loudly speak the Saviour's praise,
Saints and Angels in full chorus
⁠Your seraphic voices raise.
Come, O come, you Hallelujahs,
⁠In wide echoing songs proelaim;
Heav'n and earth with joy resounding,
⁠Praise the blest Redeemer's Name.
