4 Thus testifies the present day,
Through every year in long array,
That thou, salvation's source alone,
Proceededst from the Fatherss throne
5 Whence sky, and stars, and sea's abyss,
And earth, and all that therein is,
Shall still, with laud and carol meet,
The Author of thine advent greet.
6 And we who, by thy precious blood
From sin redeemed, are marked for God,
On this the day that saw thy birth.
Sing the new song of ransomed earth:
7. For that thine advent glory be,
O Jesu, virgin-born, to thee;
With Father, and with Holy Ghost,
From men and from the heavenly host.
Amen.
