HYMN 46.

High let us swell our tuneful notes,
And join th' angelic throng,
For angels no such love have known,
T'awake a cheerful song.

Good-will to sinful men is shown,
And peace on earth is giv'n;
For, lo! th' incarnate Saviour comes
With messages from Heav'n.

Justice and grace, with sweet accord,
· His rising beams adorn;
Let Heav'n and earth in concert join,
To us a Child is born.

Glory to God in highest strains,
In highest worlds be paid;
His glory by our lips proclaim'd,
And by our lives display'd.
