46. The new-born Child this early morn

1 THE new-born Child this early morn,
The dear Christ-child of virgin born,
Again brings fro His heavenly home
A new year to all Christendom.

2 This causes joy to angels fair,
Who love to keep us in their care;
They sing that in this wondrous Child
God now with man is reconciled.

3 Since God is reconciled with man,
What harm can Satan do us then?
O'er Satan and the gates of hell
This Christ-child shall for us prevail.

4 He brings the year of jubilee!
Why doubt we yet despondently?
Cheer up! this is a joyous day,
The Christ-child drives all care away.
