Christ's incarnation.

The Lord is come; the heav'ns proclaim

His birth; the nations learn his name;

An unknown star directs the road

Of eastern sages to their God.

All ye bright armies of the skies,

Go, worship where the Savior lies;

Angels and kings before him bow,

Those gods on high and gods below.

Let idols totter to the ground,

And their own worshippers confound

But Judah shout, but Zion sing,

And earth confess her sovereign King.
