Awake Arise Good Christians Lyrics

Kate Rusby Awake Arise Good Christians

Awake, arise good Christians, let nothing you dismay,
For unto us a saviour was born upon this day,
The self-same moon was shining, that now is in the sky,
When a holy band of angels came down from God on high.

[Chorus:]
Hosannah! Hosannah! To Jesus we'll sing,
Hosannah! Hosannah! Our savior our King

Fear not, we bring good tidings, for on this happy morn,
The promised One, the saviour, in Bethlehem's town was
born!"
Up rose the simple shepherds, all with a joyful mind,
"Then let us go in haste," they say, "This holy child to
find".

[Chorus]

And like the wary shepherds, we wander far and near,
And bid you wake, good Christians, the joyful news to
hear,
Awake, arise, good Christians, let nothing you dismay.
?? on to lord our saviour was born upon this day.

[Chorus]

[Repeat first verse]

[CHORUS x2]
