Verse 1
All glory to God,
Who on man hath bestow’d
The unspeakable gift of his Son!
Little children we sing
At the birth of a King,
Who will give us a share of his throne.

Verse 2
His astonishing birth
Brings peace upon earth,
And praise to his Father above,
Who is now reconciled
By that innocent child,
And his anger is turn’d into love.

Verse 3
For Immanuel’s sake,
Who our nature did take,
He is pleas’d with the children of men;
And if Christ we believe,
Will his rebels receive
To the arms of his mercy again.

Verse 4
By the Spirit of grace,
We our Saviour embrace,
And expect he again will come down,
Our souls to remove
By the power of his love,
And with heavenly glory to crown.
