Nymnm For Christmas
MORNING.
Hark, burst of heavenly music
From a band of seraphs bright,
Suddenly to earth descending,
In the calm and silent night.
To the shepherds OF Judea,
Watching in the early dawn!
Lo, they bear the joyful tidngs-
Jesus. Prince of Peace. is born!
Sweet and clear those angel voices,
Echoing through the starry sky,
AS they chant the heavenly chorus,
GLORY be to God on highr'
And this joyful Christmas morning
Breaking DER the world below
Tells again the wondrous story
Shepherds heard so long ago.
Who shall still our tuneful voices,
Who the tide Of praise shall stem,
WhiAh tho blessed angels taught us
In the fields of Bethlehem?
Hark, we hear again the chorus
Ringing through the starry sky,
And we join the heavenly anthem.
GLORY be to God on highr
