The King of Glory sends his Son, to make his entrance on this earth!

Behold the midnight bright as noon, and heavenly hosts declare his birth!

Simeon and Anna both conspire, the Infant Saviour to proclaim;

Inward they felt the sacred fire, and blest the Babe and own’d his Name.

Let Jews and Greeks blaspheme aloud, and treat the holy Child with scorn;

Our souls adore the Eternal God, who condescended to be born.
