Wonderful Night Lyrics

1. Wonderful night! Wonderful night!
Angels and shining immortals
Thronging Thine ebony portals,
Fling out their banners of light!
Wonderful, wonderful night!

2. Wonderful night! Wonderful night!
Dream'd by prophets and sages,
Manhood redeem'd for all ages,
Welcome Thy hallowing might!
Wonderful, wonderful night!

3. Wonderful night! Wonderful night!
Down o'er the stars to restore us,
Leading His flame-winged chorus
Comes the Eternal to sight:
Wonderful, wonderful night.

4. Wonderful night! Wonderful night!
Thee did the day-star adorning,
Christen with dew of the morning,
Eve of a day ever bright; --
Wonderful night! Wonderful night!

5. Wonderful night! Wonderful night!
Sweet be thy rest to the weary,
Making the dull heart and dreary
Laugh in a dream of delight;
Wonderful, wonderful night.

6. Wonderful night! Wonderful night!
Let me, as long as life lingers,
Sing with the cherubim singers,
"Glory to God in the height,"
Wonderful, wonderful night.
