a full and holy cure!
the Virgin bears the infant
with virgin honour pure:
Refrain:
Repeat the hymn again!
'To God on high be glory,
and peace on earth shall reign.'
2 The Word becomes incarnate,
and yet remains on high;
and cherubim sing anthems
to shepherds from the sky: [Refrain]
3 While thus they sing your monarch,
those bright angelic bands,
rejoice, ye vales and mountains,
ye oceans, clap your hands: [Refrain]
4 Since all he comes to ransom,
by all be he adored,
the infant born in Bethl'em,
the Saviour and the Lord: [Refrain] Topics: Christmas; Years A, B, and C Christmas 2; Years A, B, and C Christmas Day; Years A, B, and C Epiphany Scripture: John 1:14 Languages: English Tune Title: ES IST EIN' ROS' ENTSPRUNGEN
