Triumphant Songs No.3 ‎#107

107. Jesus is Born

1 Heav’nly portals ringing,
Angel voices singing,
Sages presents bringing,
Jesus is born.
See him in a manger,
All exposed to danger;
Hail! thou blessed stranger,
On this Christmas morn.

Refrain:
Heav’n and earth rejoices,
Jesus Christ is born;
Join your merry voices,
On this happy morn,
Heav’n and earth rejoices,
Jesus Christ is born;
Join your merry voices,
On this Christmas morn.

2 Shepherds bow before him,
Prophets old adore him,
Angels hover o’er him
On this bright morn.
Demons, cease your madness,
Sinners, shout for gladness;
Let no note of sadness,
Greet the Savior born. [Refrain]

3 Tell to ev’ry nation,
Who by vain oblation,
Seek for God’s salvation,
Jesus is born,
From the fouler hiding,
At his side abiding,
In his name confiding,
On this Christmas morn. [Refrain]
