Day of Days

O day of days that time can nev­er dim

O day that lives in Christ­mas chime and hymn

When He so strong and yet so meek and mild

Came even as a lit­tle child!

Now awake and car­ols sing!

Hail the birth­day of the King!

Now awake and car­ols sing!

Hail the birth­day of the King!

O time of joy and ad­or­ation sweet

When men and an­gels wor­shiped at His feet

When earth and Heav’n re­sound­ed with His praise

Upon that glo­ri­ous day of days!

Some day the heav’ns a bright­er glow shall wear

When Christ un­to the na­tions shall ap­pear

When He shall come

but not in low­ly guise

In pow­er and splen­dor from the skies.
