Hymn I. On the Nativity.3 Father, our hearts we lift Up to thy gracious throne, And bless thee for the precious gift Of thine incarnate Son: The gift unspeakable We thankfully receive, And to the world thy goodness tell, And to thy glory live. ()4 Page 2 Jesus, the holy child, Doth by his birth declare That God and man are reconcil'd, And one in him we are. Salvation thro' his name To all mankind is given, And loud his infant-cries proclaim A peace 'twixt earth and heaven. A peace on earth he brings Which never more shall end: The Lord of hosts, the King of kings Declares himself our friend; Assumes our flesh and blood, That we his Spir't may gain, The everlasting Son of God, The mortal Son of man. Page 3 His kingdom from above He doth to us impart, And pure benevolence and love O'erflow the faithful heart: Chang'd in a moment we The sweet attraction find, With open arms of charity Embracing all mankind.
