Text: | All my heart this night rejoices |
Author: | Paulus Gerhardt |
Translator: | Catherine Winkworth |
Tune: | STELLA |
Composer: | Horatio Parker |
All my heart this night rejoices,
As I hear,
Far and near,
Sweetest angel voices;
"Christ is born," their choirs are singing,
Till the air
Everywhere
Now with joy is ringing.
508
Hark! a voice from yonder manger,
Soft and sweet,
Doth entreat,
"Flee from woe and danger!
Brethren, come! from all doth grieve you,
You are freed;
All you need
I will surely give you."
Come, then, let us hasten yonder!
Here let all,
Great and small,
Kneel in awe and wonder!
Love him who with love is yearning!
Hail the star
That from far
Bright with hope is burning!
Thee, dear Lord, with heed I'll cherish,
Live to thee,
And with thee
Dying, shall not perish;
But shall dwell with thee for ever,
Far on high,
In the joy
That can alter never.
Amen.
