’Tis done! that
new and heavenly
birth,
Which re-creates
the sons of
earth,
Has cleansed
from guilt of
Adam’s sin
A soul which
Jesus died to
win.
’Tis
done! the cross
upon the brow
Is marked for
weal or sorrow
now,
To shine with
heavenly luster
bright,
Or burn in
everlasting
night.
O ye who came
that babe to lay
Within a
Savior’s arms
today,
Watch well and
guard with
careful eye
The heir of
immortality.
Teach him
to know a
Father’s love,
And seek for
happiness above,
To Christ
his heart
and treasures
give
And in the
Spirit ever
live.
That so
before the
judgment seat
In joy and
triumph ye may
meet;
The battle
fought, the
struggle o’er,
The kingdom
yours
forevermore.
Praise God,
from Whom all
blessings flow,
Praise Him, all
creatures here
below,
Praise Him
above, angelic
host,
Praise Father,
Son, and Holy
Ghost.
