wake from your sleep

wake from your sleep

a savior is born

god's holy child gives light to this morn

all our darkness to dispel

praise to our god whose glory we tell

come from your fields as shepherds of old

welcome this child whom prophets foretold

god has made the earth his home

praise to our god

the savior has come

stay with us now

o lord of the earth

make of our hearts a place for your birth

though our cares be great or small

jesus the lord

be born in us all

now shall the earth take joy in her tears

now shall our hearts be turned from their fears

all the earth shall sing god's praise

jesus the lord

be born on this day
