Hymnal: Laudes Domini #338 (1884) First Line: All my heart this night rejoices Lyrics: 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 For it dawns, the promised morrow
Of his birth, who the earth
Rescues from her sorrow.
God to wear our form descendeth;
Of his grace to our race
Here his Son he lendeth.
3 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
Here your Saviour gives you.
4 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.
