Believe This Birth

Tune: Sussex Carol

(\'On Christmas night let Christians sing\')

***********

Come, let us with the shepherds go

The new-born Christ-child see and know

Come, let us with the shepherds go

The new-born Christ-child see and know

He be not in a palace bright

But in a manger, wondrous sight

 

All creation, heaven and earth

Now celebrate the Saviour\'s birth

All creation, heaven and earth

Now celebrate the Saviour\'s birth

Come, worship Him in Beth\'lem\'s town

His name high, of endless renown

 

Glad tidings sound, let peace abound

Where His presence, there holy ground

Glad tidings sound, let peace abound

Where His presence, there holy ground

Son of God human and divine

Born of mankind of David\'s line

 

He shall bring in His rule of peace

It shall begin and never cease

He shall bring in His reign of peace

It shall begin and never cease

Light of the world darkness dispel

And longing hearts of this shall tell

 

That He comes human lives to save

Give them victory o\'er the grave

That He comes human lives to save

Give them victory o\'er the grave

Hasten the day when your kingdom

Of perfectness, Lord, full shall come

 

Lead us to witness, word and deed

That everyone this gospel heed

Lead us to witness, word and deed

That everyone this gospel heed

Dayspring dawns to eternity

Salvation, we from our sins freed
