9574. Awake With Joyful Strains Of Mirth

1 Awake with joyful strains of mirth,
To celebrate the morn,
That brings glad news of Jesu’s birth,
And of a Savior born.

2 In lofty hymns your voices raise,
His mighty name adore,
And sound your great Redeemer’s praise
With shouts of joy therefore.

3 To Thy great name, blest Three in One,
Eternal praise belong—
Let heavenly angels join our lays,
And help us sing our song.
