Voices of Praise ‎#289

289. The joyful morn is breaking

1 The joyful morn is breaking,
The brightest morn of earth,
Through all creation waking
The joy of Jesus' birth.
His star above is glistening,
Where Jesus cradles lies,
And all the earth is listening
The carol of the skies.

2 High strains of praise are swelling
From angel hosts on high,
And one soft voice is telling
Glad tidings from the sky;
Tidings of free salvation,
Of peace on earth below;
Through every land and nation
The blessed word shall go!

3 His children's songs shall name Him
In many a tongue to-day;
His Church shall yet proclaim Him
To people far away;
Till idols fall before Him,
Till strife and wrong shall cease,
Till all the earth adore Him,
The eternal Prince of Peace!

Amen.
