Composer: | Johann Georg Ebeling, 1637 - 76 |
1 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.
2 Hark! a voice from yonder manger,
Soft and sweet, doth entreat,
'Flee from woe and danger;
Brethren, come; from all that grieves you
You are freed; all you need
I will surely give you.'
3 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.
