Sing, O sing, this blessèd morn,
Unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given,
God Himself comes down from heaven.
Refrain
Sing, O sing, this blessèd morn,
Jesus Christ today is born.
God of God, and Light of Light,
Come with mercies infinite,
Joining in a wondrous plan
Heaven to earth and God to man.
Refrain
God with us, Emmanuel,
Deigns forever more to dwell;
He on Adam's fallen race
Sheds the fullness of His grace.
Refrain
God comes down that man may rise,
Lifted by Him to the skies;
Christ is Son of Man that we
Sons of God in Him may be.
Refrain
O renew us, Lord, we pray,
With Thy Spirit day by day,
That we ever one may be
With the Father and with Thee.
