Christians, awake! salute the happy morn
Author: John Byrom, 1692-1763 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #19 (1958) Person Name: John Wainwright, c. 1723 - 68 Lyrics: 1 Christians, awake! salute the happy morn
Whereon the Saviour of the world was born;
Rise to adore the mystery of love,
Which hosts of angels chanted from above;
With them the joyful tidings first begun
Of God Incarnate and the Virgin’s son.
2 Then to the watchful shepherds it was told,
Who heard the angelic herald’s voice, 'Behold,
I bring good tidings of a Saviour’s birth
To you and all the nations upon earth;
This day hath God fulfilled His promised word,
This day is born a Saviour, Christ the Lord.'
3 He spake; and straightaway the celestial choir
In hymns of joy, unknown before, conspire;
The praises of redeeming love they sang,
And heaven’s whole orb with alleluias rang;
God’s highest glory was their anthem still,
Peace upon earth, and unto men good will.
4 To Bethlehem straight the enlightened shepherds ran,
To see the wonder God had wrought for man,
And found, with Joseph and the blessèd Maid,
Her Son, the Saviour, in a manger laid;
Amazed, the wondrous story they proclaim,
The first apostles of his infant fame.
5 Like Mary, let us ponder in our mind
God’s wondrous love in saving lost mankind;
Trace we the Babe, who has retrieved our loss,
From his poor manger to his bitter Cross;
Treading his steps, assisted by his grace,
Till man’s first heavenly state again takes place.
6 Then may we hope, the angelic thrones among,
To sing, redeemed, a glad triumphal song;
He that was born upon this joyful day
Around us all his glory shall display;
Saved by his love, incessant we shall sing
Eternal praise to heaven’s Almighty King.

My rising soul surveys,
Transported with the view, I’m lost
In wonder, love, and praise!
2 Unnumbered comforts to my soul
Thy tender care bestowed,
Before my infant heart conceived
From whom these comforts flowed!
3 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts
My daily thanks employ;
Nor is the last a cheerful heart
That tastes those gifts with joy.
4 Through every period of my life
Thy goodness I’ll pursue,
And after death, in distant worlds,
The glorious theme renew.
5 When nature fails, and day and night
Divide thy works no more,
My ever grateful heart, O Lord,
Thy mercies shall adore.
6 Through all eternity to thee
A joyful song I’ll raise;
But O, eternity’s too short,
To utter all thy praise!

To tidings long by prophets borne
Hast thou fulfillment given;
O sacred and immortal day,
When unto earth, in glorious ray,
Descends the grace of heaven!
Young and old their voices blending,
Praise are sending
Unto heaven
For the Saviour to us given.
2 Like other men, he tears will shed,
Our sorrows share, and be our aid,
Through his eternal power,
The love of God on us bestow,
And mingle in our cup of woe
The drops of mercy’s shower;
Dearly buying through his passion
Our salvation,
And to mortals
Opening the heavenly portals.
3 He comes, for our redemption sent,
And by his glory heaven is rent
To close upon us never;
Our blessèd Shepherd he would be,
Whom we may follow faithfully
To live with him forever,
Unto realms of glory winging,
Praises singing
To the Father
And the Son, and Spirit, ever.

And shut his glories in,

For man, the creature's sin.

While his dear Cross appears;
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
And melt mine eyes to tears.

And never-withering flowers;
Death, like a narrow sea, divides
This heavenly land from ours.

Stand dressed in living green;
So to the Jews old Canaan stood
While Jordan rolled between.

To cross this narrow sea,
And linger, shivering, on the brink,
And fear to launch away.
5 O could we make our doubts remove,
Those gloomy thoughts that rise,
And see the Canaan that we love
With unbeclouded eyes;
6 Could we but climb where Moses stood,
And view the landscape o’er,
Not Jordan’s stream, nor death’s cold flood
Should fright us from the shore!

Possess the promised rest.
