Carol For Christmas Day Lyrics

1. All this night bright angels sing,
Never was such caroling,
Hark! A voice which loudly cries,
"Mortals, mortals, wake and rise.
Lo! To gladness
Turns your sadness:
From the earth is ris'n a Son,
Shines all through day be done."

2. Wake, O earth, wake everything,
Wake and hear the joy I bring:
Wake and joy; for all this night,
Heaven and every twinkling light,
All amazing,
Still stand grazing;
Angels, Powers, and all that be,
Wake, and joy this Sun to see.

3. Hail! O sun, O blessed Light,
Sent into this world by night;
Let Thy Rays and heav'nly Pow'rs,
Shine in these dark souls of ours.
For most duly,
Thou art truly
God and man, we do confess:
Hail, O Sun of Righteousness!
