<p>Mortals, awake, with angels join,<br>
|
|
And chant the solemn lay,<br>
|
|
Joy, love, and gratitude combine,<br>
|
|
To hail the auspicious day,<br>
|
|
To hail the auspicious day.</p>
|
|
<p>In heav’n the rapturous song began,<br>
|
|
And sweet seraphic fire<br>
|
|
Through all the shining legions ran,<br>
|
|
And strung and tuned the lyre,<br>
|
|
And strung and tuned the lyre.</p>
|
|
<p>Swift through the vast expanse it flew,<br>
|
|
And loud the echo rolled,<br>
|
|
The theme, the song, the joy, was new—<br>
|
|
’Twas more than heav’n could hold,<br>
|
|
’Twas more than heav’n could hold.</p>
|
|
<p>Down through the portals of the sky<br>
|
|
The impetuous torrent ran;<br>
|
|
And angels flew, with eager joy,<br>
|
|
To bear the news to man,<br>
|
|
To bear the news to man.</p>
|
|
<p>Hark! the cherubic armies shout,<br>
|
|
And glory leads the song:<br>
|
|
Good will and peace are heard throughout<br>
|
|
The harmonious heav’nly throng,<br>
|
|
The harmonious heav’nly throng.</p>
|
|
<p>With joy the chorus we repeat,<br>
|
|
“Glory to God on high!”<br>
|
|
Good will and peace are now complete,<br>
|
|
Jesus was born to die,<br>
|
|
Jesus was born to die.</p>
|
|
<p>Hail, Prince of Life, forever hail!<br>
|
|
Redeemer, Brother, Friend!<br>
|
|
Though earth, and time, and life shall fail<br>
|
|
Thy praise shall never end,<br>
|
|
Thy praise shall never end.</p>
