Advent 2017, Traditional Carols

I'm running out of carols I want to post, not because there aren't lots of them but because they are archaic in language and a little heterodox for my taste.  Joseph is an old man, Mary was a perpetual virgin born without sin, etc.  They were real people, according to the Bible. 

So, one more, and this will be the end.  I will be without Internet for a few days anyway. 

Here Is Joy For Every Age

Here is joy for every age,
Every generation;
Prince and peasant, chief and sage,
Every tongue and nation:
Every tongue and nation,
Every rank and station
Hath today salvation,
Alle Alleluia.

When the world drew near its close,
Came out Lord and Leader;
From the Lily sprang the Rose,
From the Bush the Cedar;
From the Bush the Cedar,
From the judged the Pleader,
From the faint the Feeder:
Alle Alleluia.

God, that came on earth this morn,
In a manger lying,
Hallowed birth by being born,
Vanquished death by dying;
Vanquished death by dying,
Rallied back the flying,
Ended sin and sighing:
Alle Alleluia.
