1. All hail! happy day, | |||
When enrobed in our clay, | |||
The Redeemer appeared upon earth: | |||
Hew can we refrain | |||
For to join the glad strain, | |||
And to hail our Immanuel's birth? | |||
2. How boundless that love, | |||
First begotten above, | |||
And through Jesus to sinners made known! | |||
Lift, lift up the voice. | |||
And exulting rejoice, | |||
For Jehovah to earth is come down.}} | |||

3. Ye angels of God, | |||
Sound his praises abroad, | |||
And acknowledge him Jah, the I AM: | |||
We also will join | |||
In a hymn so divine, | |||
Giving glory to God and the Lamb. | |||
4. To Christ, we will sing. | |||
As our High Priest. and King, | |||
And our Prophet to teach us the road: | |||
But more than all this, | |||
For Almighty he is, | |||
And we own him our crucified God!}} | |||

5. To Jesus' praise | |||
Let us spend all our days, | |||
For 'tis he our surety hath stood: | |||
He sojourned below, | |||
That his mercy might flow, | |||
And he purchased our pardon with blood! | |||
6. O may the return | |||
Of this once-blessed morn. | |||
Be forever remembered with joy; | |||
Sweet accents of praise | |||
All our voices shall raise, | |||
Hallelujahs shall be our employ.}} | |||

{{Text|Simple| | |||
7. Let echo prolong | |||
The harmonious song, | |||
Hallelujahs again and again; | |||
He kindles the fire, | |||
Whom the nations desire, | |||
And to him we devote the glad strain, | |||
8. Blest Jesus, while we | |||
Pay our tribute to thee, | |||
Let us worship, admire, and adore; | |||
Accept as thy crown, | |||
What before was thy own, | |||
Hallelujahs and praise evermore.}} | |||
