Hymn Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk - Christian Hymn Lyrics.  

All my heart this night rejoices 
All my heart this night rejoices, as I hear, far and near, sweetest angel voices; "Christ is born," their choirs are singing, Till 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. 
Ye who pine in weary sadness, weep no more, for the door now is found of gladness; cling to him, for he will guide you where no cross, pain or loss can again betide you. 
Thee, dear Lord, with heed I'll cherish; live to thee and with thee, dying, shall not perish; but shall dwell with thee for ever, far on high, in the joy that can alter never.
