Isaiah 9: Rejoice in Jesu's birth
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Rejoice in Jesu's birth!
To us a Son is given,
To us a Cliild is born on earth,
ho made both earth and heaven!
His shoulder props the sky,
This universe sustains!
The God supreme, the Lord most high,
The King Messiah reigns!
His name, His nature, soars
Beyond the creatures' ken:
Yet whom the' angeUc host adores,
He pleads the cause of men!
Our Counsellor we praise,
Our Advocate above.
Who daily in His church displays
His miracles of love.
