Lutheran Hymnal: 024 - 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 Everywhere Now with joy is ringing. 2 Forth today the conqueror goeth: Who the foe, Sin and woe, Death and hell, o’erthroweth. God is man, man to deliver; God’s own Son Now is one With our blood for ever. 3 He becomes the Lamb that taketh Sin away And for aye Full atonement maketh. For our life His life He tenders, And our race By His grace Meet for glory renders. 4 Hark! A voice from yonder manger, Soft and sweet, Doth entreat: Flee from woe and danger. Brethren, from all ills that grieve you You are freed; All you need I will surely give you. 5 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. 6 Dearest Lord, Thee will I cherish, Live to Thee, Die to Thee; Thus I shall not perish, But in life that endeth never, Joyfully, Peacefully, Dwell with Thee for ever.
