Hymn for Christmas Day.

Saviour inspire the voice of earth, To hail the day that gave Thee birth; The Heavens resound in blest accord, Hosanna! to the highest! praise the Lord. Let hymns of gratulation flow From Adam's race redeem'd from woe; For Paradise to man restored, Hosanna! to the highest! praise the Lord. Wisdom, and power, and peace proclaim The new-born Saviour's blessed name, His glory stars to stars record, Hosanna! to the highest! praise the Lord. Nature to Him in homage fall; He comes—the Judge, the Lord of all: His welcome sound on every chord, Hosanna! to the highest! praise the Lord.
