Raise voice far and wide all over the earth!
Swell glories glad tidings brought on by His birth!
Dawn has begun and night’s length is ending,
ushered by sounds that creation is sending.
To us of mere worth.
Us who need mending.
The day has arrived, ‘tis on us at last
when all speech and sound are as one and held fast.
Long nights of hatred and battles will cease,
the bugles have ended, the songs are of peace.
Hope like the sun rising out of the sea
is rising before us declaring us free
from being the lees.
From our agony.
Keeping us separate since ages of old,
From all that has bound us to Satan’s strong hold.
We join the nations, we sing in accord.
The voice of the world is the voice of our Lord.
Songs that were sung on the night He was born.
The Song that was sung on that predestined morn
from our lips has poured,
like Gabriel’s horn,
of Christ who came the hope of the nation,
and ushered with Him the dawn of salvation.
