1 Break forth, O beauteous heavenly light, And usher in the morning; Ye shepherds, shrink not with affright, 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. 2 Break forth, O beauteous heavenly light, To herald our salvation; He stoops to earth – the God of might, Our hope and expectation. He comes in human flesh to dwell, Our God with us, Immanuel, The night of darkness ending, Our fallen race befriending.
