1 All hail! happy day,
When enrobed in our clay,
The Redeemer appeared upon earth:
How can we refrain
For to join the glad strain,
And to hail our Immanuel’s birth?
2 How boundless that love,
First begotten above,
And through Jesus to sinners made known?
Lift, lift up the voice,
And exulting rejoice,
For Jehovah to earth is come down.
3 Ye angels of God,
Sound His praises abroad,
And acknowledge Him Jah, the I Am:
We also will join
In a hymn so divine,
Giving glory to God and the Lamb.
4 To Christ we will sing,
As our high priest and king,
And our prophet to teach us the road:
But more than all this,
For almighty He is,
And we own Him our crucified God!
5 To Jesus’ praise
Let us spend all our days,
For ’tis He our surety has stood:
He sojourned below,
That His mercy might flow,
And He purchased our pardon with blood!
6 O may the return
Of this once blessèd morn,
Be for ever remembered with joy
Sweet accents of praise,
All our voices shall raise,
Hallelujahs shall be our employ.
7 Let echo prolong,
The harmonious song,
Hallelujahs again and again:
He kindles the fire,
Whom the nations desire;
And to Him we devote the glad strain.
8 Blest Jesus, while we
Pay our tribute to Thee,
Let us worship, admire, and adore,
Accept as Thy crown,
What before was Thy own,
Hallelujahs and praise evermore.
