Four 7's, with refrain [285]St. Athanasius: Edward J. Hopkins, 1872 Refrain Christopher Wordsworth, 1862 Sing, O sing, this blessed morn, Unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given, God himself comes down from heaven; Sing, O sing, this blessed morn, Jesus Christ today is born. God of God, and Light of Light, Comes with mercies infinite, Joining in a wondrous plan Heaven to earth and God to man. God with us, Emmanuel, Deigns for ever now to dwell; He on Adam's fallen race Sheds the fullness of his grace. 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. O renew us, Lord, we pray, With thy Spirit day by day, That we ever one may be With the Father and with thee. Amen. |
