The Cyber Hymnal ‎#3411

3411. The Joyful Morn Is Breaking

1. The joyful morn is breaking,
the brightest morn on earth,
Through all creation waking
the joy of Jesus’ birth.
His star above is glistening,
where Jesus cradled 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 blessèd word shall go.

3. His children’s songs shall name Him
in many a tongue today;
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,
th’eternal Prince of Peace.
