Author: George Gascoigne, 1540-1577 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #41 (1993) Meter: 8.6.8.6 with repeat Lyrics: 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 –
rejoice, give thanks, and sing,
rejoice, give thanks, and sing.
