Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 110 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

Verse 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.

Verse 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."

Verse 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!
