  1. Hymn 46 Christians, awake, salute the happy morn

  2. 1 Christians, awake, salute the happy morn on which the Saviour of mankind 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.

  3. 2 First, 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 has God fulfilled his promised word, this day is born a Saviour, Christ the Lord.’

  4. 3 He spoke; and straightway the celestial choir joined in sweet hymns of joy, unknown before; the praises of redeeming love they sang, and heaven’s whole orb with hallelujahs rang; God’s highest glory was their anthem still, ‘Peace upon earth, and unto men good-will.’

  5. 4 O may we keep and ponder in our mind God’s wondrous love in saving lost mankind; trace we the babe, who has retrieved our loss, from the poor manger to the bitter cross; tread in his steps, assisted by his grace, till man’s first heavenly state again takes place.

  6. 5 Then may we hope, the angelic host among, to join, redeemed, a glad triumphant throng; he that was born upon this joyful day around us all his glory shall display; saved by his love, we gratefully shall sing eternal praise to heaven’s almighty King. John Byrom 1692-1763
