by: Johann Sebastian Bach

lyrics

Break forth oh beauteous Heavenly Light
To usher in the morning
Ye Shepherds, quake not with affright
But hear the angels warning
This Child now weak in infancy
Our confidence and joy shall be
The power of Satan breaking
Our Peace Eternal making

Break forth oh beauteous Heavenly Light
To herald in our salvation
He stoops to Earth, the God of Might
Our hope and expectation,
He comes in human flesh to dwell
Our God, with us, Immanuel
The night of darkness ending
Our fallen race befriending.
