Christians Awake

Sung by the Copper Family on the Coppers at Christmas CD.

Christians awake, arise rejoice and sing,
Behold glad tidings of great joy I bring,
A child is born, his wonders will increase,
The everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.

This Prince's child is born of David's line
His name is wonderful, his grace Divine.
Arise, rejoice, sing hymns of joy and mirth
And worship him all nations upon the earth.

Sweet Jesus Christ our Saviour here we find
From sin he hath redeemed all mankind
And now he reigns above the starry skies
Where Saints and Angels sing continually.

Let every soul in joyful accents sing
Loud praises to our great Almighty King,
Let us with them unite to swell the sound,
Goodwill to men and peace on earth are found.

Let us with them unite to swell the sound,
Goodwill to men and peace on earth are found.
