Away dark thoughts, awake my joy,
Awake, my glory sing:
Sing songs to celebrate the birth
Of Jacob’s God and King.
Oh, happy night that brought forth light
Which makes the blind to see!
The day-spring from on high came down,
To cheer and visit thee.
The wakeful shepherds near their flocks
Were watchful for the morn:
But better news from heaven was brought,
Your Saviour Christ is born.
The news is spread, the church is glad,
Simeon, o’ercome with joy,
Sings with the infant in his arms,
Now let thy servant die!
Wise men from far beheld the star,
Which was their faithful guide,
Until it pointed to the babe,
And him they glorified.
While heaven and earth rejoice and sing,
Shall we our Christ deny?
He’s born for us and we for Him,
Glory to God on high!
