Text: | All my heart this night rejoices |

1 All my heart this night rejoices,
As I hear
Far and near,
Sweetest angel voices;
"Christ is born," their choirs are singing,
Till the air
Ev'rywhere
Now with joy is ringing.
2 Hark! a voice from yonder manger,
Soft and sweet,
Doth entreat,
Flee from woe and danger;
Brethren, come; from all that grieves you
You are freed;
All you need
I will surely give you.
3 Come, then, let us hasten yonder;
Here let all,
Great and small,
Kneel in awe and wonder;
Love Him who with love is yearning;
Hail the star
That from far
Bright with hope is burning.
