Lyrics

All my heart this night rejoices,

As I hear, far and near, sweetest angel voices;

"Christ is born," their choirs are singing,

Till the air, everywhere, now their joy is ringing.

Hark! a voice from yonder manger,

Soft and sweet, doth entreat, "Flee from woe and danger;

Brethren, come; from all that grieves you
You are freed; all you need I will surely give you."

Come, then, let us hasten yonder;

Here let all, great and small, kneel in awe and wonder,

Love Him Who with love is yearning;

Hail the star that from far bright with hope is burning.

Thee, dear Lord, with heed I’ll cherish;

Live to Thee and with Thee, dying, shall not perish;

But shall dwell with Thee for ever,

Far on high, in the joy that can alter never.
