Text: | Be glad, O Earth! |
Tune: | [Be glad, O Earth!] |
1 Be glad, O Earth!
'Tis Jesus' birth
That bids your sorrow cease;--
Be glad, be glad,--
Why still be sad?
The day for heav'nly joy is made,
For Jesus brings us peace.
2 See, where He lies,
See, from those eyes
The loving tears rain down;--
See, from His face
The light of grace
Shines brightly on our ransomed race,
To heav'n and gladness won.
3 Embrace your God;--
The Infant Bud,
That blossoms for our earth,
For brighter skies
Beam from his eyes,
An love lifts up to Paradise
To greet our Jesus' birth.
4 From Thy dear Heart
Ne'er let us part;
E'er bless thy living shrine.
Thy love shall charm
Away from farm,
And precious grace shall ever arm
The hearts once bound to Thine.
