Read Isaiah 40:9
All my heart today rejoices
As I hear, far and near
sweetest angel voices
"Christ is born," their choirs are singing,
'Til the air everywhere
now with joy is ringing.
Hark! a voice from yonder manger
Soft and sweet doth entreat;
"Flee from woe and danger!
Brethren, come from all that grieves you,
You are freed --
All you need I will surely give you."
Come then, let us hasten yonder!
Here let all, great and small,
kneel in awe and wonder!
Love Him who with love is yearning!
Hail the Star that from far
bright with hope is burning!
- Paul Gerhardt
