Born is the babe, the only branch of peace, The sweet Messiah, God's most holy son; Whose death our life, whose wounds our joys increase; Who wrought our weal when all our hope was gone; Whose grief our joy, whose lack relieved our loss; Who cured our cares by suff'ring on the cross.
Born is the lamb, the sacrifice of joy, The spotless person, ransom of our sin; The sweet Samaritan that cured all annoy, The son in whom the sire delighteth in; The hav'n of peace when worldly troubles toss; Who cured our cares by suff'ring on the cross.
Born is the shepherd, careful of his sheep, The light of glory, bright of majesty; The Father's power who hath our sins in keep, The very beam of that divinity Whom praise we still, when worldly troubles toss: Who cured our cares by suff'ring on the cross. | | |
