126. O come, let us worship.

1 Hither, ye faithful, haste with songs of triumph,
To Bethlehem haste, the Prince of life to meet;
To you, this day, is born a Prince and Savior:
O come, let us worship at his feet.

2 Jesus, our Savior, for such condescension,

Our praise and our reverence are an offering meet; Now is the word made flesh, and dwells among us: O come, let us worship at his feet.

3 Shout his almighty name, ye choirs of angels,
And let the celestial courts his praise repeat;
Give to our Savior glory in the highest:
O come, let us worship at his feet.

He gave thee, he took thee, and soon he'll re-store thee,

Where death has no sting, since the Savior has died.

2 How blest is our brother, bereft
Of all that could burden his mind,
How easy the soul that has left
This wearisome body behind!
Of evil incapable thou,
Whose relics with envy I see,
No longer in misery now,
No longer a sinner like me.

3 This earth is affected no more With sickness, nor shaken with -pain;

The war in the members is o'er, And never shall vex him again: No anger, henceforward, nor shame,

Shall redden this innocent clay :
Extinct is the animal flame,
And passion is vanish'd away.

4 This languishing head is at rest,
Its thinking and aching are o'er;
This quiet, immoveable breast
Is heaved by affliction no more:
This heart is no longer the seat
Of trouble and torturing pain;
