Athens by Hezekiah Moors — Lyrics
1. All hail! happy day,
When enrobed in our clay,
The Redeemer appeared upon earth:
Hew can we refrain
For to join the glad strain,
And to hail our Immanuel's birth?

About Athens
This SATB setting of an English text by Hezekiah Moors is suitable for Christmas occasions. The lyrics express the joy and wonder of the Nativity, celebrating the Incarnation and the boundless love of God made known through Jesus. The music would provide an uplifting anthem for the festive season, inviting the choir to join in the glad strain and exulting rejoice at the Redeemer's appearance on earth. It calls for a full choral sound to convey the magnitude of this momentous event.
