Christians awake, arise, rejoice and sing
Behold, glad tidings unto you I bring,
A child is born, great wonders will increase,
The everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. |
This princeless Child was born in David's town,
His name is Wonderful, of great renown,
He reigns in heaven, above yon starry sky
Where saints and angels sing continually.
|
This mighty Prince, pray always keep in mind,
Yet once again shall come to judge mankind.
Then all the dead shall rise with one accord,
And saints from thence for ever praise the Lord.
|
The let us spend this universal day
In singing to our great Redeemer's praise,
That when He comes to gather home is own,
We each one may receive a starry crown.
