0 rest beside the weary road,
And hear the angels sing.
For lol the days IRE hast'ning on,
by prophets seen Of old,
When with the ever circling years /.
Shall come the time foretold,
When the new heav'n and earth shall
own
The Prince Of Peace their King,
And the whole world send back the
song
Which now the angels sing.
