41. You That Have Spent the Silent Night

1 You that have spent the silent night
in sleep and quiet rest,
and joy to see the cheerful light
that rises in the east,
that rises in the east,

2 Now lift your hearts, your voices raise,
your morning tribute bring;
all nature join in grateful praise ā€“
rejoice, give thanks, and sing,
rejoice, give thanks, and sing.
