Lord, how Thy wonders are displayed, Where'er we turn my eyes: If we survey the ground we tread, Or gaze upon the skies! 3 There's not a plant or flower below But makes your glories known; And clouds arise, and tempests blow, By order from your throne; All creatures, many as they be, Are ever in your care, And everywhere that man can be, We see your presence there.

Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, While shepherds watch are keeping? This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing! Haste, haste to bring him laud, The Babe, the Son of Mary! 2 Why lies he in such mean estate Where ox and ass are feeding? Good Christian, fear, for sinners here The silent Word is pleading. Nails, spear, shall pierce him through, The cross be borne for me, for you. Hail, hail, the Word made flesh, The Babe, the Son of Mary! 3 So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh; Come, peasant, king to own him; The King of kings salvation brings; Let loving hearts enthrone him. Raise, raise the song on high! The virgin sings her lullaby. Joy, joy, for Christ is born, The Babe, the Son of Mary! Amen.
