(one verse introduction)

Jerusalem, lift up your voice!
You child of Zion, now rejoice!
Your God is come, Whose mighty hand
Henceforth shall reign over every land.

Christ comes to ev'ry tribe and race,
A Messenger of truth and grace:
With peace Christ comes from heaven above
To Earth to found God's realm of love.

In God's eternal covenant,
Christ comes for our salvation sent.
The star of hope moves on before,
And hosts assemble to adore.

Let all the world with one accord
Now hail the coming of our God:
Praise to the Child of heavenly birth
Who brings God's peace to all the Earth.
