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.

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."

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!
