about

Anon: This day our Saviour Christ was born

lyrics

This day our Saviour Christ was born
at Bethlem in a common inn,
On Calvary was his body torn
to pay the pain the ransom of our sin.
Nay, from the manger to the cross,
he made his life a mystic story,
And of his blood he thought no loss,
to bring his enemies to glory.
His life hath buried all our sins,
his death our endless glory wins.
Then let us carol to his praise
the choicest of our holy lays,
And thus inflamed with melting fire,
the saints will chant it in our choir.
