Christians, awake! salute the happy morn

Author: John Byrom, 1692-1763 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #19 (1958) Person Name: John Wainwright, c. 1723 - 68 Lyrics: 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. 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.' 3 He spake; and straightaway 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. 4 To Bethlehem 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; Amazed, the wondrous story they proclaim, The first apostles of his infant fame. 5 Like Mary, let us ponder in our mind God’s wondrous love in saving lost mankind; 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 man’s first heavenly state again takes place. 6 Then may we hope, the angelic thrones 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.
