Christians, Awake

Author: John Byrom, 1692-1763 Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 186 hymnals First Line: Christians, awake, salute the happy morn Lyrics: 1 Christians, awake, salute the happy morn Whereon the Savior 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. 2 Then to the watchful shepherds it was told, Who heard the angelic herald’s voice: "Behold, I bring good tidings of a Savior’s birth To you and all the nations on the earth: This day has God fulfilled the promised word, This day is born a Savior, Christ the Lord." 3 Thus spoke, 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 all good will. 4 In Bethlehem the happy shepherds sought To see the wonder God for us had wrought, And found, with Joseph and the blessed maid, Her Son, the Savior, in a manger laid; Amazed, the wondrous story they proclaim, The earliest heralds of the Savior's name. 5 Let us, like these good shepherds, then employ Our grateful voices to proclaim the joy; Trace we the Babe, who has retrieved our loss, From his poor manger to his bitter cross; Treading his steps, assisted by his grace, Till our first heavenly state again takes place.

Yet, though despised and gory, I joy to call thee mine. 2 How art thou pale with anguish, With sore abuse and scorn; How does that visage languish Which once was bright as morn! Thy grief and bitter Passion Were all for singer's gain; Mine, mine was the transgression But thine the deadly pain. 3 What language shall I borrow To thank thee, dearest friend, For this thy dying sorrow, Thy pity without end? Oh, make me thine forever, And, should I fainting be, Lord, let me never, never Outlive my love to thee. 4 Lord, be my consolation; Shield me when I must die; Remind me of thy Passion When my last hour draws nigh. These eyes, new faith receiving, From thee shall never move; For he who dies believing Dies safely in thy love.
