1.
All this night bright angels sing;
Never was such carolling.
Hark, a voice which loudly cries:
"Mortals, mortals wake and rise;"
Lo! to gladness Turns your sadness;
From the earth is risen a Sun;
Shines all night, though day be done.

2.
"Wake, O earth, wake everything!
Wake and hear the joy I bring;
Wake and joy for all this night,
Heaven and every twinkling light,
All amazing, Still stand gazing;
Angels, powers, and all that be,
Wake, and joy this Sun to see!"

3.
Hail, O Sun! O blessed Light,
Sent into this world by night;
Let Thy rays and heavenly powers
Shine in these dark souls of ours;
For most duly, Thou art truly
God and Man, we do confess;
Hail, O Sun of Righteousness!
