Людвиг ван Бетховен - Come with glad hearts and voices - ноты, текст песни (слова)

1. Come with glad hearts and voices, 
 All come from far and near; 
 Nature itself rejoices
 And heav'nly hearts appear.
 Hear the glad song of triumph,
 A Saviour born today!
 'Tis born along by Seraph;
 Come join the happy lay.
 
 2. Come, bring your choicest off'rings, 
 And lay them at His feet; 
 Preset no sinstained gath'rings
 The best are scarcely meet.
 Take flowers bright and handsome, 
 And Ivy fresh and green, 
 'Twill make your church look winsome
 And please yourselves, I ween.
 
 3. With hearts brimful of loving 
 For all God's done for you, 
 And minds full bent on serving
 Him and your neighbor, too.
 Your gifts will be well pleasing,
 And precious in His sight;
 Love gets its own rewarding
 In doing what is right.
 
 4. 'Twas love moved God in pleading, 
 to give His only Son; 
 And Jesus, interceding,
 Redeeming work begun;
 His Love is everlasting, 
 So changeless, pure and free 
 'Twas given without asking.
 Take it and happy be.
