A song for Chistmas Day

Christians, awake ,salute the happy morn

Where on the Savior of the world was born.

Rise to adore the mystery of love

Which hosts of angels chanted from above;

Whith them the joyful tidings first begun

Of God Incarnate and the virgin's Son.

Then to the watchful Shepherds it was told,

Who heard the angelic herald's voice "Behold,

I bring good tidings of a Saviour's birth

To you and all the nations upon earth;

This day has God fufilled His promised word;

This day is born a savior, Christ the Lord."

He spake; and straitway the celestial choir
In hynms of joy unknown before conspire;
The praises of redeeming love they sang,
And heaven's whole orb with alleluias rang.
God's highest glory was their anthem still,
Peace upon earth and unto men good will.

To Bethl'em strait the enlightened shepherds ran
To see the wonder God had wrought for man,
And found, with Joseph and the blessed maid,
Her Son, the Savior, in a manger laid;
Then to their flocks, still praising God return.
And their glad hearts with holy rapture burn.

Oh,may we keep and ponder in our mind
God's wonderous love in saving lost mankind!
Trace we the babe,who hath retrieved our loss,
From His poor manger to His bitter cross,
Tread in His steps asisted by His grace,
Till our imperfect state God doth replace.

Then may we hope, angelic hosts among,
To sing redeemed a glad triumphal song:
He that was born upon this joyful day
Around us all His glory shall display.
Saved by His love, incessant we shall sing
Eternal praise to heaven's almighty King. Amen.

Blessed Christmas and best wishes for the new year to all of you! :)
