90. Christ the Lord, the Lord Most Glorious

1 Christ the Lord, the Lord most glorious,
Now is born; O shout aloud!
Many by Him is made victorious;
Praise you Savior, hail your God!

2 Praise the Lord, for on us shineth
Christ, the Sun of Righteousness;
He to us in love inclineth,
Cheers our souls with pardoning grace.

3 Praise the Lord, Whose saving splendor
Shines into the darkest night;
O what praises shall we render
For this never-ceasing Light.
