Hymn Text
1 Break forth, O beauteous heav'nly light, And usher in the morning;
Ye shepherds, shrink not with affright, But hear the angel's warning.
This Child, now weak in infancy, Our confidence and joy shall be,
The pow'r of Satan breaking, Our peace eternal making.
2 All blessing, thanks and praise to thee, Lord Jesus Christ, be given:
Thou hast our brother deigned to be, Our foes in sunder riven.
O grant us through our day of grace With constant praise to seek thy face;
Grant us ere long in glory With praises to adore thee.
