All My Heart This Night Rejoices

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 their joy is ringing

Hark A voice from yonder manger

Soft and sweet doth entreat

"Flee from woe and danger;

Brethren come

From all that grieves you

You are freed

All you need

I will surely give you "

Come then let us hasten yonder;

Here let all great and small

Kneel in awe and wonder

Love Him Who with love is yearning;

Hail the star

That from far

Bright with hope is burning

Thee dear Lord with heed I'll cherish;

Live to Thee and with Thee

Dying shall not perish;

But shall dwell with Thee for ever

Far on high in the joy that can alter never
