Hark! The Full-Voiced Choir Is Singing

Hark! the full-voiced choir is sing­ing

As the mid­night dark­ness flies;

Heavenly an­gels now are bring­ing

Peaceful tid­ings from the skies.

Hail

O Je­sus! Hail

O Je­sus!

Sun of right­eous­ness

arise!

Sun of right­eous­ness

arise!

Yes

be­hold the day of glo­ry

Dawn at length for all the earth;

List

the cher­ubs tell the sto­ry—

This the day of Je­sus’ birth.

Lo

He comes! His throne the man­ger

Shepherds

seek His shrine the stall;

Ox and ass behold the strang­er

God

who made and go­verns all!

Mortals

raise your loud­est voic­es

Jesus lifts on high your horn;

Earth re­deemed to­day re­joic­es

For to­day her Lord is born!
