All This Night Bright Angels Sing

All this night bright angels sing,

Never was such caroling,

Hark! a voice which loudly cries,

"Mortals, mortals, wake and rise."

Lo! to gladness turns your sadness:

From the earth is ris'n a Son,

Shines all night tho' day be done."

Wake, O earth, wake ev'ry thing,

Wake and hear the joy I bring:

Wake and joy; for all this night,

Heav'n and ev'ry twinkling light,

All amazing, still stand gazing,

Angels, pow'rs and all that be,

Wake, and joy this Son to see.

Hail! O Son, O blessčd Light,

Sent into this world by night;

Let Thy rays and heav'nly pow'rs,

Shine in these dark souls of ours.

For most duly, Thou art truly

God and Man, we do confess:

Hail, O Sun of Righteousness!
