Words
Let our gladness have no end,
Hallelujah!
For to earth did Christ descend.
Hallelujah!
On this day God gave us
Christ, His Son, to save us;
Christ, His Son, to save us.
See, the loveliest blooming rose,
Hallelujah!
From the branch of Jesse grows.
Hallelujah!
Into flesh is made the Word.
Hallelujah!
He, our refuge and our Lord.
Hallelujah!
Scripture
The Bible passages this hymn draws on, in the King James Version.
And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth.
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
