English text

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.

"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!"

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!
