The Cyber Hymnal ‎#10189

10189. Hail The Night, All Hail The Morn

1 Hail the night, all hail the morn,
When the Prince of Peace was born!
When, amid the wakeful fold,
Tidings good the angel told.

2 Now our solemn chant we raise
Duly to the Savior’s praise;
Now with carol hymns we bless
Christ the Lord, our righteousness.

3 While resounds the joyful cry,
Glory be to God on high,
Peace on earth, good will to men!
Gladly we respond, Amen!

4 Thus we greet this holy day,
Pouring forth our festive day,
Thus we tell, with saintly mirth,
Of Immanuel’s wondrous birth.

5 We in perfect peace would live,
We to God would glory give;
Lauding, with the heavenly host,
Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
