Author: Christopher Wordsworth, Traditional German tune.
Christopher Wordsworth--nephew of the great lake-poet, William Wordsworth--was born in 1807. He was educated at Winchester, and at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he graduated B.A., with high honours, in 1830; M.A. in 1833; D.D. in 1839. He was elected Fellow of his College in 1830, and public orator of the University in 1836; received Priest's Orders in 1835; head master of Harrow School in 1836; Canon of Westminster Abbey in 1844; Hulsean Lecturer at Cambridge in 1847-48; Vicar of Stanford-in-the-Vale, Berks, in 1850; Archdeacon of Westminster, in 1865; Bishop of Lincoln, in 1868. His writings are numerous, and some of them very valuable.

1. Sing, O sing, this blessèd morn,
unto us a Child is born,
unto us a Son is given,
God Himself comes down from heaven.
Refrain:
Sing, O sing, this blessèd morn,
Jesus Christ today is born.

2. God from God, and Light from Light,
comes with mercies infinite,
from high heaven he comes to earth,
one with us in human birth. (Refrain)

3. God comes down that we may rise,
lifted by him to the skies;
Christ is born for us that we
born again in him may be. (Refrain)

4. O renew us, Lord, we pray,
with thy Spirit day by day,
that we ever one may be
with the Father and with thee. (Refrain)
