A Christmas Anthem

Rejoice, O ye Earth rejoice,
For from His heaven
He has come down
To be with us --
O Immanuel.

Rejoice, O earth rejoice,
For our long-awaited Savior
Has today been born
In David's town --
O Bethlehem.

Rejoice O earth rejoice,
For to the shepherds
The message did come
Of manger's child --
O Lamb of God.

Rejoice O earth rejoice,
For on your dusty brow
Now sweetly shines
A heavenly light --
O Light of Life.

Rejoice O earth rejoice,
For to rule the nations
The Prince of Peace
Has in humility come --
O worship the King.
