Sound, Sound your instruments of Joy To triumph shake each string Let sounds of universal joy Welcome him, the newborn king. See, see the gladdening dawn appears Bright angels deck the morn Behold the great "I am" is given The King of Glory's born. Surprising scene, stupendous love The Lord of Life descend He left his glorious realms above To be the the sinner's friend. Let Heaven, Earth and Sea proclaim The wondrous love of God And all the universal frame Sing praises to our God.
