HYMN 7.

Awake! rejoice! and hail the morn,
Whereon the Prince of Life was born;
With grateful hearts arise and sing,
Hosannah to th' eternal King;
Let all the earth proclaim the morn
Whereon the King of Kings was born.

He came, He came, the incarnate God,
This dreary world made his abode;
The angel hosts their Lord proclaim'd,
And Jesus was this Saviour nam'd;
All Heaven exulted on that morn,
Whereon the Lord of Lords was born.

Arise, and join the choirs above,
And sing the great Immanuel's love,
In sweetest strains they jointly cry,
All glory be to God on high;
Let Heav'n and earth proclaim the morn,
Whereon the Prince of Peace was born.
