Joseph Key - He comes, let every heart rejoice - текст песни (слова)

He comes, let ev'ry heart rejoice,
 Behold the sacred morn;
 Be chearful and lift up your voice,
 The great Messiah's born. 
 See the heav'nly host attending,
 See the God of love descending,
 Pain and sorrow to endure,
 Our salvation to procure.
 
 Within a manger there behold
 The blessed infant lie;
 In humble dress, not robes of gold,
 No, he is born to die. 
 See the heav'nly host attending,
 See the God of love descending,
 Pain and sorrow to endure,
 Our salvation to procure.
 
 To save mankind from endless death,
 The Son of God came down;
 To purchase for their race on earth
 A never-ending crown. 
 See the heav'nly host attending,
 See the God of love descending,
 Pain and sorrow to endure,
 Our salvation to procure.
 
 The just for the unjust to die,
 O matchless love divine:
 But now above the heavens high
 His glories ever shine. 
 See the heav'nly host attending,
 See the God of love descending,
 Pain and sorrow to endure,
 Our salvation to procure.
