HYMN 14. On the Birth of CHRIST.
1. [The First Part.]
1
Awake my Soul, awake my Tongue,my Glory wake and sing,
And celebrate the holy Birth,
the Birth of Jsraels King!
2
O happy Night that brought forth Light,which makes the Blind to see;
19
to cheer and visit thee.
3
The careful Shepheards with their Flockswere watching for the Morn,
But better News from Heav'n was brought;
your Saviour is now born!
4
In Bethlehem the Infant lies,within a place obscure,
Your Saviours come, O sing Gods Praise!
O sing his Praise for ev'r.

Heaven is come down to EarthHither the Angels fly,
Hark how the Heavenly Quire doth sing,
Glory to God on high!

Blest News indeed, be glad;Simeon O'ercome with joy,
Sings with the Infant in his Arms,
Now let thy Servant die!
3
Wise-men behold the Star,Which was their stedfast Guide,
Until it pointed forth the Babe:
Let God be Glorify'd!

Heaven and Earth rejoyceO Lord! and shall not I?
Christ he is Born! Sinners sing Praise,
For you he came to Die!
