Brich an, o schönes Morgen licht - Break forth, O beauteous heavenly light (Bach)

Carols
Composer:   Johann Sebastian Bach
Voicing:   SATB
Words:   From "Christmas Oratorio"
Brich an, o schönes Morgen licht,
Und lass den Himmel tagen!
Du Hirtenvolk, erschrecke nicht,
Weil dir die Engel sagen,
Dass dieses schwache Knä belein
Soll unser Trost und Freude sein,
Dazu den Satan zwingen
Und letztlich Frieden bringen!

English

Break forth, O beauteous heavenly light,
and usher in the morning;
Ye shepherds, shrink not with afright,
but hear the angel's warning.
This Child, now weak in infancy,
our confidence and joy shall be,
the power of Satan breaking,
our peace eternal making.
