Paul Gerhardt - All My Heart This Night Rejoices Chords

[Verse 1]
 
G   D  G     D    G       C  G
All my heart this night rejoices
   Em Am      D   G
as I hear far and near
         C G   D  G
sweetest angel voices.
        Am G      D     G      D   A   D
"Christ is born," their choirs are singing
     Em  Am   C D G
till the air ev'rywhere
    D    C   G  D   G
now with joy is ringing.
 
[Verse 2]
 
G     D G   D   G         C G
Forth today the Conqu'ror goeth,
    Em  Am       D   G
who the foe, sin and woe,
      C   G     D   G
death and hell, o'erthroweth.
    Am G    D   G  D A  D
God is man, man to deliver;
    Em   Am  C   D  G
his dear Son now is one
     D   C     G  D G
with our blood forever.
 
[Verse 3]
 
G     D  G     D     G         C G
Shall we still dread God's displeasure,
     Em Am       D   G
who, to save, freely gave
    C    G         D   G
his most cherished Treasure?
   Am G   D   G  D    A D
To redeem us, he hath given
    Em  Am  C    D   G
his own Son from the throne
   D   C     G  D  G
of his might in heaven.
 
[Verse 4]
 
G  D G     D   G         C G
He becomes the Lamb that taketh
   Em Am     D   G
sin away and for aye
     C  G      D  G
full atonement maketh.
    Am  G    D   G   D  A  D
For our life his own he tenders;
    Em  Am    C  D   G
and our race, by his grace,
     D   C  G  D  G
meet for glory renders.
 
[Verse 5]
 
G     D G     D    G      C  G
Hark! a voice from yonder manger,
     Em  Am     D    G
soft and sweet, doth entreat:
      C    G   D   G
"Flee from woe and danger.
     Am   G    D   G    D    A      D
Brethren, from all ills that grieve you,
    Em  Am     C   D   G
you are freed; all you need
     D   C  G  D  G
I will surely give you."
 
[Verse 6]
 
G     D     G      D   G    C  G
Come, then, banish all your sadness,
    Em  Am   D         G
one and all, great and small;
     C    G     D      G
come with songs of gladness.
     Am   G    D   G   D  A   D
Love him who with love is glowing;
     Em  Am    C    D   G
hail the star, near and far
      D   C   G  D  G
light and joy bestowing.
 
[Verse 7]
 
G       D     G    D    G C   G
Dearest Lord, thee will I cherish.
       Em Am     D       G
Though my breath fail in death,
    C G     D      G
yet I shall not perish,
    Am   G    D G   D  A D
but with thee abide forever
      Em Am    C  D    G
there on high, in that joy
      D   C  G   D G
which can vanish never.
