Lo, see the shep­herds on the plains,
Rise, then, we to lives of love;
Wrapped in the glo­ri­ous theme, the plains
We shall sing on that beau­ti­ful shore
All th’en­tic­ing tones of ill,
Beauty for ash­es bring,
Where gold­en harps are ring­ing
Come, O come!
There’s no dis­cord in the strain.
Thy bound­less pow­er pro­claims,
Your vows in His tem­ple pro­claim;
Where the Sav­ior deigns to die,
Answering hills send back,
Come, hap­py souls, ap­proach your God,
This mer­ry Christ­mas morn;
Of Thy faith­ful­ness to tell,
Of mer­ry Christ­mas bells!
Angels come on joy­ous pin­ion,
In a loud hal­le­lu­jah with the ran­somed in light;
Blood-washed pil­grims on the high­way

me­lo­di­ous

They shout, and sing me­lo­di­ous strains!
Jesus Christ is ris­en to­day!
Lo, the bright sun of right­eous­ness,
And our spir­its shall sor­row no more,
Are sub­dued, and all is still.
Join heart and voice to sing,
And an­gel choirs are sing­ing
Come, O come!
How I love the joy­ful strain;’Tis the same old bless­èd sto­ry,
The good­ness of Thy names.
And bless His ad­or­able name,
Bursting on the rav­ished ear!
Choirs ce­les­ti­al bring good tid­ings,
Come, ten­der to al­migh­ty grace,
The day that Christ was born.
Songs of ad­or­ation swell.
A won­drous sto­ry tells!
Triumphing o’er death’s do­min­ion,
The song of re­demp­tion, the Lamb that was slain.
Of their free­dom from con­fu­sion,

Awake with Joy, Salute the Morn!
