The day of redemption
hath come with a song—
The song of redemption
from sin so strong.
The angels first chanted it over a hill;
As Christmas returneth it echoes still.
Hail! Hail! day of redemption!
Hark the angel chorus rings!
Hail! Hail! day of redemption!
Bow before the King of kings!
Redemption most wonderful!
Gift from the sky,
Redeemer most gentle, so low to lie!
O herald so glorious sent from above,
To speak to the shepherds
of God’s great love.
Hail! Hail! day of redemption!
Hark the angel chorus rings!
Hail! Hail! day of redemption!
Bow before the King of kings!
O marvel of tenderness!
Marvel of light!
The King from the glory,
so wondrous bright!
Is resting all quietly, pillowed on hay,
And gone is earth’s darkness!
Behold! ’tis day!
Hail! Hail! day of redemption!
Hark the angel chorus rings!
Hail! Hail! day of redemption!
Bow before the King of kings!
