Christmas Carols
Rouse, Rouse From Your Slumbers Lyrics
1. Rouse, rouse from your slumbers,
Prepare a glad voice,
And join with the number
That do now rejoice;
Be no longer silent
But now join with them,
Archangels are bringing,
Archangels are bringing,
Glad tidings to men.
[Refrain:]
Angel Trumps the message bring,
Welcome down the Newborn King;
Mortals join the hosts above,
Join to sing Redeeming love.
Angel Trumps the message bring,
Welcome down the Newborn King;
Welcome down the Newborn King;
Welcome down the Newborn King.
2. What blissful glad tidings
Is this that we hear?
Harmonious rejoicings
It sounds from this sphere;
'Tis music transporting,
Cherubic, profound,
Creations, vast regions
It ushers around. [Refrain]
3. Hark, hark to the [Chorus],
Salvation the theme
Which certain poor shepherds
Did hear on the plain;
'Tis Jesus the Saviour,
Come see where He's born,
In Bethlehem city
On this happy morn. [Refrain]
4. Then straightway the shepherds
To Bethlehem steered,
Stupendously led
By a Star that appeared;
There Joseph and Mary,
They saw a surprise,
And laid in a manger,
The King of the Skies. [Refrain]
