Evil flees the earth,
now comfort is come:
God is on earth,
now earth is heaven.
Now the world is even
as the eternal Good,
since in the Crib
all heaven is;
all that lacked to the glory
of earth is given:
God is on earth,
now earth is heaven.
Now Man He descends
that ye may rise;
now God and Man
one name unites.
Twixt heaven and earth
now the strife is striven:
God is on earth,
now earth is heaven.
