Listen to Those Happy Voices

Listen to those hap­py voic­es

Of the ra­di­ant an­gel throng!

How the earth and sky re­joic­es!

All the air is full of song!

Hallelujah! bliss­ful morn!

Hallelujah! Christ is born!

Hear ye not the bright robed an­gel

Cheering shep­herds in the field—

Telling them the sweet ev­an­gel

That the woes of man are healed?

Hear ye not the an­gel say:

Fear ye not

be glad to­day?

Bid the fiend of hell de­fi­ance!

Conquered now is ev­ery foe!

In His name have full re­li­ance

Who hath borne our sin and woe!

Hallelujah—death is braved!

Hallelujah—we are saved!

Should we not with songs of glad­ness

Glory give to God for aye?

Why be bowed with grief and sad­ness

When our sins are borne away?

Praise Him—with the an­gels vie—

Glory be to God on high!

Swell

ye saints

the bliss­ful chor­us

Roll it on­ward like a sea!

As the an­gels

ho­ver­ing o’er us

Still re­peat the me­lo­dy.

Hear ye not the an­gel say:

Fear ye not

be glad to­day?

Gladly we re­peat the sto­ry—

Vie with an­gels while they sing:

Be to God im­mor­tal glo­ry

Glory to the new-born King!

Hallelujah

bliss­ful morn!

Hallelujah

Christ is born!
