Author: Watts Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #38 (1844) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Behold! the grace appears Lyrics: 1 Behold! the grace appears, The promise is fulfilled! Mary, the wondrous virgin, bears, And Jesus is the child. 2 [The Lord, the highest God, Calls him his only Son; He bids him rule the lands abroad, And gives him David’s throne.] 3 [O’er Jacob shall he reign With a peculiar sway; The nations shall his grace obtain, His kingdom ne’er decay.] 4 To bring the glorious news A heavenly form appears; He tells the shepherds of their joys, And banishes their fears. 5 “Go, humble swains,” said he, “To David’s city fly, The promised Infant born today Does in a manger lie. 6 “With looks and hearts serene, Go visit Christ, your King”; And straight a flaming troop was seen; The shepherds heard them sing: 7 “Glory to God on high, And heavenly peace on earth; Good will to men, to angels joy, At the Redeemer’s birth!” 8 [In worship so divine Let saints employ their tongues; With the celestial host we join, And loud repeat their songs: 9 “Glory to God on high, And heavenly peace on earth; Good will to men, to angels joy, At the Redeemer’s birth!”] Topics: The Incarnation of Christ Languages: English
