Hymn 208 – THE happy day at last has dawned | C&S English Hymnary

1. THE happy day at last has dawned Long awaited by all kindred When the promised Saviour appears Here on the earth in human form. 2. Shepherd in the fields abiding Watching over their flocks by night First e‘er the glad tiding were told Glad tiding of the Saviour‘s birth. 3. Angels, God‘s ministering spirits Who came in shinning white app‘rel Brought to them the blessed message The true, glad tidings of great joy. 4. A mighty dread had seized their mind Because of this strange sight they saw; ‘Fear not' was the comforting words That came from the angelic lips. 5. Christ the Saviour is born today Yet Christ the Lord on earth is He In David’s city is He born In a humble manager forlon. 6. ‘All glory be God on high Will be the chorus by all clime For His tender and endless love That to a world in need brought peace AMEN
