Lift Up Your Heads in Joyful Hope

Lift up your heads in joy­ful hope

Salute the hap­py morn;

Hear heav’n­ly pow­er pro­claim the hour:

Lo

Je­sus Christ is born.

All glo­ry be to God on high

To Him all praise is due;

The pro­mise sealed

the Lord re­vealed

He proves the re­cord true.

Let joy around like riv­ers flow

Flow on

and still in­crease

Spread o’er the earth at Je­sus’ birth

With Heav’n and men at peace.

Rejoice

come see

sal­va­tion free

For Ad­am’s help­less race:

From Heav­en’s throne to save His own

Messiah comes with grace.

Then let us join the skies above

Where shin­ing ser­aphs sing;

Join an­gel pow­ers

their Lord is ours

Our pro­phet

priest

and king.

The tid­ings of great joy be spread

To earth’s re­mot­est bound;

With heav’n­ly host

to ev­ery coast

We raise the joy­ful sound.
