Awake, arise good Christians, let nothing you dismay, |
|
For unto us a saviour was born upon this day, |
|
The self-same moon was shining, that now is in the sky, |
|
When a holy band of angels came down from God on high. |
|
[Chorus:] |
|
Hosannah! Hosannah! To Jesus we'll sing, |
|
Hosannah! Hosannah! To Jesus we'll sing, |
|
Fear not, we bring good tidings, for on this happy morn, |
|
The promised One, the saviour, in Bethlehem's town was born!" |
|
Up rose the simple shepherds, all with a joyful mind, |
|
"Then let us go in haste," they say, "This holy child to find". |
|
[Chorus] |
|
And like unto the shepherds, we wander far and near, |
|
And bid you wake, good Christians, the joyful news to hear, |
|
Awake, arise, good Christians, let nothing you dismay. |
|
Remember Christ our saviour was born upon this day. |
|
[Chorus] |
|
[Repeat first verse] |
|
[CHORUS x2] |
