Text Translation	Awake! All this night shrill chanticleer, Day’s proclaiming trumpeter, Claps his wings and loudly cries Mortals, mortals, wake and rise! See a wonder Heav’n is under. From the earth is ris’n a Sun, Shines all night, though day be done. Wake, O earth, wake everything! Wake and hear the joy I bring. Wake and joy for all this night Heav’n and ev’ry twinkling light, All amazing, still stand gazing. Angels, Powers, and all that be, Wake, and joy this Sun to see. Hail, O Sun, O blessed Light, Sent into this world by night! Let thy rays and heav’nly Powers Shine in these dark souls of ours. For most duly Thou art truly God and Man we do confess. Hail, O Son of Righteousness! —William Austin, 1626
