All My Heart This Night Rejoices 2 Lyrics

1. All my heart this night rejoices
As I hear
Far and near
Sweetest angel voices.
"Christ is born," their choirs are singing
Till the air
Everywhere
Now with joy is ringing

2. Forth today the Conqueror goeth,
Who the foe,
Sin and woe,
Death and hell, o'erthroweth.
God is man, man to deliver;
His dear Son
Now is one
With our blood forever.

3. Shall we still dread God's displeasure,
Who, to save,
Freely gave
His most cherished Treasure?
To redeem us, He hath given
His own Son
From the throne
Of His might in heaven.

4. Should He who Himself imparted
Aught withhold
From the fold,
Leave us broken hearted?
Should the Son of God not love us,
Who, to cheer
Sufferers here,
Left His throne above us?

5. If our blessed Lord and Maker
Hated men,
Would He then
Be of flesh partaker?
If He in our woe delighted,
Would He bear
Aall the care
Of our race benighted?

6. He becomes the Lamb that taketh
Sin away
And for aye
Full atonement maketh.
For our life His own He tenders
And our race,
By His grace,
Meet for glory renders.
