1  Arise and sing, dispel your fears,
Tidings of joy salute your ears,
And heav'n pours forth its sacred light
To dissipate the gloom of night.

2  See from the highest realms of bliss,
Angels descend to publish peace;
Wrapt in the glorious theme, the plains
Resound in their melodious strains.

3  Lo, the bright sun of righteousness
Appears the desert world to bless:
May ev'ry soul their tribute bring,
And worlds unborn his glory sing.
