Arthur Sullivan - All this night bright angels sing - текст песни (слова)

1.
 All this night bright angels sing;
 Never was such carolling.
 Hark, a voice which loudly cries:
 "Mortals, mortals wake and rise;"
 Lo! to gladness Turns your sadness;
 From the earth is risen a Sun;
 Shines all night, though day be done.
 
 2.
 "Wake, O earth, wake everything!
 Wake and hear the joy I bring;
 Wake and joy for all this night,
 Heaven and every twinkling light,
 All amazing, Still stand gazing;
 Angels, powers, and all that be,
 Wake, and joy this Sun to see!"
 
 3.
 Hail, O Sun! O blessed Light,
 Sent into this world by night;
 Let Thy rays and heavenly powers
 Shine in these dark souls of ours;
 For most duly, Thou art truly
 God and Man, we do confess;
 Hail, O Sun of Righteousness!
