Let Sighing Cease and Woe (EN 3644)

EN 3644 Let Sighing Cease and Woe

Luke.2.10

Versi Version 1

1

Let sighing cease and woe

God from on high hath heard,

Heaven’s gate is opening wide, and lo!

The long expected Word.

2

Peace! through the deep of night

The heavenly choir breaks forth,

Singing, with festal songs and bright,

Our God and Savior’s birth.

3

The cave of Bethlehem

Those wakeful shepherds seek;

Let us too rise and greet with them

That infant pure and meek.

4

We enter—at the door

What marvel meets the eye?

A crib, a mother pale and poor,

A child of poverty.

5

Art Thou the eternal Son,

The eternal Father’s ray?

Whose little hand, Thou infant one,

Doth lift the world alway?

6

Yea—faith through that dim cloud,

Like lightning darts before,

And greets Thee, at Whose footstool bowed

Heaven’s trembling hosts adore.

7

Chaste be our love like Thine,

Our swelling souls bring low,

And in our hearts, O Babe divine

Be born, abide and grow.

8

So shall Thy birthday morn,

Lord Christ, our birthday be,

Then greet we all, ourselves newborn,

Our King’s nativity.
