¶Lyrics / Text

1. Awake, my soul, tune every string, In God thy Savior praise, join with the heavenly hosts and sing, The highest notes they raise. 2. Tell how the glorious Son of God, Forsook the realms of bliss, Descended to our guilty world, Proclaiming life and peace. 3. Angelic hosts declare his birth, “Glory to God on high, Good will to men and peace on earth: Behold the Savior nigh!" 4. “To Bethlehem's city quick repair," The ethereal spirits cry, "And see the promised Savior there, “Low in a manger lie."
