All my heart this night rejoices (Ebeling arr Bach) - Cantate Domino

All my heart this night rejoices,
    as I hear,
     far and near,
sweetest angel voices;
Christ is born, their choirs are singing,
    Till the air,
     everywhere,
now with joy is ringing.

Hark! a voice from yonder manger,
    soft and sweet,
     doth entreat,
Flee from woe and danger;
brethren, come; from all that grieves you
    you are freed;
     all you need
I will surely give you.

Come, then, let us hasten yonder;
    here let all,
     great and small,
kneel in awe and wonder,
love him Who with love is yearning;
    hail the star
     that from far
bright with hope is burning.

Thee, dear Lord, with heed I'll cherish;
    live to thee
     and with thee,
dying, shall not perish;
but shall dwell with thee for ever,
    far on high,
     in the joy
that can alter never.
