"And the angel said to them, 'Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.'" – Luke 2:10 (ESV)<\/a>
\n <\/p>\n

Come, thou long-expected Jesus, born to set thy people free; from our fears and sins release us; let us find our rest in thee. Israel\u2019s strength and consolation, hope of all the earth thou art, dear Desire of ev\u2019ry nation, joy of ev\u2019ry longing heart.<\/p>\n

Joy to those who long to see thee, Dayspring from on high, appear; come, thou promised Rod of Jesse, of thy birth we long to hear! O\u2019er the hills the angels singing news, glad tidings of a birth; \u201cGo to him, your praises bringing; Christ the Lord has come to earth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Come to earth to taste our sadness, he whose glories knew no end; by his life he brings us gladness, our Redeemer, Shepherd, Friend. Leaving riches without number, born within a cattle stall; this the everlasting wonder, Christ was born the Lord of all.<\/p>\n

Born thy people to deliver, born a child and yet a king, born to reign in us forever, now thy gracious kingdom bring. By thine own eternal Spirit rule in all our hearts alone; by thine all-sufficient merit, raise us to thy glorious throne.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
