Additional Lyrics
2. To David’s city let us fly,
Where angels sing beneath the sky,
Through plain and village pressing near,
And news from God with shepherds hear.
3. O, let us go with quiet mind,
The gentle Babe with shepherds find,
To graze on Him who gladdens them,
The loveliest flow’r on Jesse’s stem.
4. Come, Jesus glorious heav’nly guest,
Keep Thine own Christmas in our breast;
Then David’s harp-string, hushed so long
Shall swell our jubilee of song.
