Lift up your heads in joyful hope,

Salute the happy morn:

Each heavenly power

Proclaims the glad hour;

Lo! Jesus the Saviour is born.

CHORUS.

Then let us join the heavens above,

Where hymning seraphs sing;

Join all the glad powers,

For their Lord is ours,

Our Prophet, our Priest, and our King.

Let joy abound, like rivers flow,

Flow on and still increase!

Spread o’er the glad earth,

At Jesus’s birth,

For heaven and earth are at peace!

Then let us join, &c.

All glory to God on high!

To Him all praise is due;

The promise is seal’d,

The Saviour reveal’d,

And that proves the record is true.

Then let us join, &c.

Now the good-will of heaven is shewn

Towards Adam’s helpless race;

Messiah is come,

To ransom his own,

And save them by Infinite grace.

Then let us join, &c.
