ALL THIS NIGHT BRIGHT ANGELS SING

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!
Amen
