||:Let us all with gladsome voice
Praise the God of heaven,:||
Who to bid our hearts rejoice
His own Son hath given.

||:Down to this sad earth He comes,
Here to serve us deigning,:||
That with Him in yon fair homes
We may once be reigning.

||:We are rich, for He was poor,
Gaze upon this wonder!:||
Let us praise God evermore,
Here on earth, and yonder!
.
||:Look on all who sorrow here,
Lord, in pity bending,:||
Grant us now a glad New Year,
And a blessed ending!
