12316. O Radiant Morn

1 O radiant morn, when Jesus was born,
When angels the story sang;
From Heaven above, on pinions of love,
An answering echo rang.

Refrain:
We’re marching, marching, under the starlit skies;
Marching, marching, where the Redeemer lies;
Singing, singing, Jesus is born today;
Marching along, singing a song, all the way.

2 Hosannas we sing to Jesus, our king,
To Jesus, the Prince of Peace;
Whose wonderful birth enraptured the earth,
Whose reign nevermore shall cease. [Refrain]

3 Awake every voice, with singing rejoice,
And follow the splendor bright;
Let songs never end, but ever ascend
To Jesus, the world’s true light. [Refrain]

4 Then follow each day, the one narrow way,
And when earthly joys are past,
We’ll dwell evermore with Him we adore,
In Heaven’s bright home at last. [Refrain]
