Joseph Stephenson - Arise and hail the sacred day - текст песни (слова)

Arise and hail the sacred day,
 Cast all low cares of life away, 
 And thoughts of meaner things:
 This day to cure thy deadly woes, 
 The Son of righteousness arose,
 With healing in his wings.
 
 If angels, on the sacred morn
 The Son of righteousness was born,
 Pour'd forth their seraphs' songs,
 How should all people then on earth, 
 Triumph in honour of his birth:
 The praise to him belongs!
 
 Then let us with the angels join
 And praise his glorious name divine, 
 With hallelujahs high;
 With endless thanks to God above, 
 In showing forth his boundless love
 To all eternity.
