|
<p>Calm on the listening ear of night<br>
|
|
Come heaven’s melodious strains,<br>
|
|
Where wild Judea stretches forth<br>
|
|
Her silver mantled plains.<br>
|
|
Celestial choirs from courts above<br>
|
|
Shed sacred glories there,<br>
|
|
And angels, with their sparkling lyres,<br>
|
|
Make music on the air.</p>
|
|
<p>The answering hills of Palestine<br>
|
|
Send back the glad reply;<br>
|
|
And greet, from all their holy heights,<br>
|
|
The Day-Spring from on high.<br>
|
|
O’er the blue depths of Galilee<br>
|
|
There comes a holier calm,<br>
|
|
And Sharon waves, in solemn praise,<br>
|
|
Her silent groves of palm.</p>
|
|
<p>“Glory to God!” the lofty strain<br>
|
|
The realm of ether fills;<br>
|
|
How sweeps the song of solemn joy<br>
|
|
O’er Judah’s sacred hills!<br>
|
|
“Glory to God!” the sounding skies<br>
|
|
Loud with their anthems ring,<br>
|
|
“Peace to the earth; good will to men,<br>
|
|
From heaven’s eternal King!”</p>
|
|
<p>Light on thy hills, Jerusalem!<br>
|
|
The Savior now is born,<br>
|
|
And bright on Bethlehem’s joyous plains<br>
|
|
Breaks the first Christmas morn.<br>
|
|
And brightly on Moriah’s brow<br>
|
|
Crowned with her temple spires,<br>
|
|
Which first proclaim the newborn light,<br>
|
|
Clothed with its orient fires.</p>
|
|
<p>This day shall Christian tongues be mute,<br>
|
|
And Christian hearts be cold?<br>
|
|
Oh, catch the anthem that from heaven<br>
|
|
O’er Judah’s mountains rolled.<br>
|
|
When burst upon that listening night<br>
|
|
The high and solemn lay:<br>
|
|
“Glory to God, on earth be peace,”<br>
|
|
Salvation comes today!</p>
