Come, you faithful ones, rejoicing;
Come, you seekers of our God!
See the wondrous incarnation;
Come, be joyful and be awed!
See this infant and behold
God in human flesh enrolled!
See the wonder of salvation
Come to us and every nation.
With the shepherds watch and wonder
At this unexpected sight:
See the child with mother Mary,
Wrapped against the chill of night.
Yet this infant that you see
Son of God has come to be.
Let your praise be now unceasing
And with love your joy increasing!
Celebrate the child Messiah!
Celebrate the newborn Lord!
Celebrate with songs of gladness!
Celebrate with one accord!
Let the good news spread abroad
Of our incarnated God!
For this saving love endeavor
Glory to our God forever!

The most exciting thing! This Christmas text from last year has a rollicking fun new tune! (Hopefully I don't sabotage it at our Christmas Eve service with my attempts to play the tambourine part...)
