Let Music Break on This Blest Morn

Let mu­sic break on this blest morn

And sweet­ly ec­ho back to Heav’n

For lo! the pro­mised Son is born

The long ex­pect­ed One is giv’n.

Of old the pro­phets wrote of Him

Predicting this most glad ev­ent

And we

in one uni­ted hymn

Now ce­le­brate the Sav­ior sent.

In Heav’n the an­gels sing of Him

And won­der at His migh­ty love;

On earth we glad­ly chant the theme

Thus join­ing in the song ab­ove.

Thus an­gels

pro­phets

sin­ners sing

With all the num­bers saved in Heav’n

And hail Thy ad­vent

Sav­ior

King

One glo­ri­ous strain to all is giv’n.

Nor can we praise a wor­thi­er name

Or sing of love so great as Thine;

No! end­less hon­or Thou dost claim

Thy name and love are both di­vine;

Thy name and love are both di­vine.
