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

The day Spring from on high came down
to cheer and visit thee.

3

The careful Shepheards with their Flocks
were 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.

2. The Second Part, 25th Psalm Tune.

1

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

2

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!

4

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