🌟 Christians, Awake, Salute the Happy Morn 🌟

This hymn celebrates the joy of Christ’s birth, beginning with the angelic proclamation and extending the invitation to all believers to join in praise and adoration.
---
[Verse 1]
Christians, awake, salute the happy morn,
Whereon the Saviour of the world was born;
Rise to adore the mystery of love,
Which hosts of angels chanted from above:
With them the joyful tidings first begun
Of God incarnate and the Virgin's Son.
[Verse 2]
Then to the watchful shepherds it was told,
Who heard the angelic herald's voice, "Behold,
I bring good tidings of a Saviour’s birth
To you and all the nations upon earth:
This day hath God fulfilled his promised word,
This day is born a Saviour, Christ the Lord."
[Chorus]
This day is born a Saviour, Christ the Lord!
[Verse 3]
He spake; and straightway the celestial choir
In hymns of joy, unknown before, conspire;
The praises of redeeming love they sang,
And heaven’s whole orb with alleluias rang:
God’s highest glory was their anthem still,
Peace upon earth, and unto men good will.
[Chorus]
Peace upon earth, and unto men good will.
[Verse 4]
To Bethl’em straight the enlightened shepherds ran,
To see the wonder God had wrought for man,
And found, with Joseph and the blessèd Maid,
Her Son, the Saviour, in a manger laid:
Then to their flocks, still praising God, return,
And their glad hearts with holy rapture burn.
[Chorus]
And their glad hearts with holy rapture burn.
[Verse 5]
O may we keep and ponder in our mind
God’s wondrous love in saving lost mankind;
Trace we the babe, who hath retrieved our loss,
From his poor manger to his bitter cross;
Tread in his steps, assisted by his grace,
Till man’s first heavenly state again takes place.
[Chorus]
Till man’s first heavenly state again takes place.
[Verse 6]
Then may we hope, the angelic hosts among,
To sing, redeemed, a glad triumphal song:
He that was born upon this joyful day
Around us all his glory shall display;
Saved by his love, incessant we shall sing
Eternal praise to heaven’s almighty King.
[Final Chorus]
Saved by his love, incessant we shall sing
Eternal praise to heaven’s almighty King!
