1 Away with our fears!
the Godhead appears
in Christ reconciled
the Father of Mercies

in manifest Love,

in a manger he lies.

3 Made flesh for our sake,
that we might partake
the nature divine,
and again in his image,
his holiness shine.

4 Then let us believe,
and gladly receive
the tidings they bring
who publish to sinners
their Savior and King.

5 And while we are here,
our King shall appear,
his Spirit impart,
and form his full image
of love in our heart.
