Thrice Joyful Night Lyrics

1. Thrice joyful night,
With blessings dight,
Which saw the Saviour's Birth;
From Heaven high
My God is nigh
To calm the woes of earth.

2. When Eve's sad fall
Had, like a pall,
Enshrouded all our race,
As Man He came,
For man to claim
A Light for earth's dark face.

3. Th' eternal Light,
The Godhead bright,
In swathing-bands they fold;
The King of all
In lowly stall
The ox and ass behold.

4. Th' Almighty Word
Whom Hosts adored
A silent Infant lay;
The Sun grows old,
Its beams falls cold;
What mean these marvels? say!
