Mortals, awake, with angels join

Author: Samuel Medley Appears in 324 hymnals Matching Instances: 6 Lyrics: 1 Mortals, awake, with angels join, And chant the solemn lay; Joy, love, and gratitude combine, To hail the auspicious day. 2 In heaven the rapturous song began, And sweet seraphic fire Through all the shining legions ran, And strung and tuned the lyre. 3 Swift through the vast expanse it flew And loud the echo rolled; The theme, the song, the joy, was new, 'Twas more than heaven could hold. 4 Down through the portals of the sky The impetuous torrent ran; And angels flew, with eager joy, To bear the news to man. 5 With joy the chorus we repeat, "Glory to God on high!" Good-will and peace are now complete, Through Christ who came to die. 6 Hail, Prince of life, forever hail! Redeemer, Brother, Friend! Though earth, and time, and life shall fail, Thy praise shall never end. Topics: Christ First Advent Used With Tune: CHRISTMAS
