A Christmas time prayer

All hail! let there be joy!
           Hail to the King, hail to the King.
           Blessed is He, blessed is He.
The peace of earth to Him;
       the joy of heaven to Him.
       The homage of a King be His,
           King of all victory;
       the welcome of a Lamb be His,
           Lamb of all glory:
           the Son of glory down from on high.
           All hail, let there be joy.
       Deep in the night
           the voice of the waves on the shore
           announced to us: Christ is born!
           Son of the King of kings
           from the land of salvation,
           the mountains glowed to Him,
           the plains glowed to Him,
           then shone the sun on the mountains high to Him.
           All hail, let there be joy.
     God the Lord has opened a Door.
           Christ of hope, Door of joy!
           Son of Mary, hasten Thou to help me:
           In me, Lord Christ, let there be joy.
