Mortals! Awake, With Angels Join,
And Chant The Solemn Lay;
Love, Joy, And Gratitude Combine
To Hail The Auspicious Day.
In Heaven The Rapturous Song Began,
And Sweet Seraphic Fire
Through All The Shining Legions Ran,
And Swept The Sounding Lyre.
The Theme, The Song, The Joy Was New
To Each Angelic Tongue;
Swift Through The Realms Of Light It Flew,
And Loud The Echo Rung.
Down Through The Portals Of The Sky
The Pealing Anthem Ran,
And Angels Flew With Eager Joy
To Bear The News To Man.
Hark! The Cherubic Armies Shout,
And Glory Leads The Song,
Peace And Salvation Swell The Note
Of All The Heavenly Throng.
With Joy The Chorus We’ll Repeat,
“Glory To God On High!
Good Will And Peace Are Now Complete
Jesus Was Born To Die!”
Hail, Prince Of Life! For Ever Hail!
Redeemer—Brother—Friend!
Though Earth, And Time, And Life Shall Fail,
Thy Praise Shall Never End.
