Religious Music - Here Is Joy for Every Age lyrics

rate me

Here is joy for every age,

Every generation;

Prince and peasant, chief and sage,

Every tongue and nation:

Every tongue and nation,

Every rank and station

Hath today salvation,

Alle Alleluia.

When the world drew near its close,

Came out Lord and Leader;

From the Lily sprang the Rose,

From the Bush the Cedar;

From the Bush the Cedar,

From the judged the Pleader,

From the faint the Feeder:

Alle Alleluia.

God, that came on earth this morn,

In a manger lying,

Hallowed birth by being born,

Vanquished death by dying;

Vanquished death by dying,

Rallied back the flying,

Ended sin and sighing:

Alle Alleluia.
