  Angel hosts in bright array— Stars their night-watch keeping— Earthward wend their silent way, While the world lies sleeping. Through the wintry clouds they glide, On through portal hoary, Where, the ox and ass beside, Lies the Babe of Glory. Refrain Ring the bells, and sound the horn! Shout with exultation! Christ the Lord today is born For the world’s salvation! All unseen by mortal eye, Reverent and lowly; Prostrate there, they laud on high Him, the Infant holy. From their lips celestial rise Sounds, with joy o’erflowing, Strains upborne beyond the skies, Hymns with rapture glowing. Refrain Raphäel, archangel bright! On thine errand wending, Forth again into the night Mount, the clouds ascending! Take of that, thy glittering train, Hosts of light, dear angel! Then descend where Bethlehem’s plain Waits thy longed evangel! Refrain Hark the news the angel tells: “Lo! An infant Stranger, God’s dear Son among you dwells, Born in Bethlehem’s manger!” Bursts a chorus from the sky, Loud from Heaven’s portal: “Glory be to God on high, Peace, goodwill to mortal!” Refrain Angel spirits earthward led, With a hope endearing, First to worship, first to spread News of Christ’s appearing! Trace we out your footfalls light, Praise we Christ in glory, Then waft on the tidings bright Of the Gospel’s story! Refrain

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

• [Luk 2:13] From Every Spire On Christmas Eve

  From every spire on Christmas Eve, the Christmas bells ring clearly out Their message of goodwill and peace, with many a call and silver shout. For faithful hearts, the angels’ song still echoes in the frosty air, And by the altar low they bow, in adoration and in prayer. A thousand blessed memories throng, the stars are holy signs to them, And from the eyes of every child looks forth the Babe of Bethlehem; But there are others, not like these, whose brows are sad, whose hopes are crossed, To whom the season brings no cheer, and life’s most gracious charm is lost. To whom that story, old and sweet, is but a fable at the best, The Christmas music mocks their ears, and life has naught of joy or rest. Oh! for angel’s voice to pierce the clouds of grief that over them rise, The mists of doubt and unbelief that veil the blue of Christmas skies. That they, at last, may see the Light which shines from Bethlehem, and unfold For Christ the treasures of their hearts, richer than spicery or gold. Hope of the ages, draw Thou near, till all the earth shall own Thy sway, And when Thou reignest in every heart it will, indeed, be Christmas Day.

  Glorious, beauteous, golden-bright, Shedding softest, purest light, Shone the stars that Christmas night, When the Jewish shepherds kept Watch beside their flocks that slept. But the stars’ sweet golden gleam Faded quickly as a dream ’Mid the wondrous glory-stream That illumined all the earth, When Christ’s angels sang His birth. Soft and pure and holy glory, Kings and seers and prophets hoary, Shed throughout the sacred story: While the priests, like shepherds true, Watched beside God’s chosen few. But that light no more availéd, And its splendor staighway paléd In His light Whom angels hailéd; Even as the stars of old, ’Mid the brightness lost their gold. Now no more on Christmas night, Is the sky with angels bright, But for ever shines the Light; Even He Whose birth they told To the shepherds by the fold. Since that Light then darkens never, Let us all, with glad endeavor, Sing the song that echoes ever: Glory in the highest Heaven! Peace on earth to us forgiven.

  Hark from on high those blissful strains! Whence can such sweetness be? Have angels waked their golden harps With Heav’ns own minstrelsy? With Heav’ns own minstrelsy? Or do we hear the cherub voice Of infant bands who raise, Soaring from earth celestial notes In their Creator’s praise? In their Creator’s praise? Thus spake the shepherds—yet with dread, So strange the sounds they heard, While o’er their slumb’ring flocks they kept Their wonted nightly guard, Their wonted nightly guard. And soon they saw a dazzling light Beam through the starry way, And shining seraphs clust’ring where The infant Jesus lay, The infant Jesus lay. They came a Savior’s birth to tell, And tunes of rapture sing; Hence the glad notes that filled the air— Each swept his loudest string, Each swept his loudest string. But now in accents soft and kind The chieftain angel said, “Heav’ns tidings of great joy we bear— Shepherds, be not afraid, Shepherds, be not afraid.”

Till ringing, singing on its way The world revolved from night to day, A voice, a chime, a chant sublime Of peace on earth, good will to men. And in despair I bowed my head “There is no peace on earth,” I said, “For hate is strong and mocks the song Of peace on earth, good will to men.” Then pealed the bells more loud and deep: “God is not dead, nor doth He sleep; The wrong shall fail, the right prevail With peace on earth, good will to men.” Then from each black, accursed mouth The cannon thundered in the South, And with the sound the carols drowned Of peace on earth, good will to men.

  Music I love—­but ne’er a strain Could kindle raptures so divine, So grief assuage, so conquer pain, And rouse this pensive heart of mine; As that we hear on Christmas morn, Upon the wintry breezes borne. Though darkness still her empire keep, And hours must pass, ere morning break; From troubled dreams, or slumbers deep, That music kindly bids us wake: It calls us, with an angel’s voice, To wake, and worship, and rejoice. To greet with joy the glorious morn, Which angels welcomed long ago, When our redeeming Lord was born, To bring the light of Heaven below; The powers of darkness to dispel, And rescue Earth from death and hell. While listening to that sacred strain, My raptured spirit soars on high; I seem to hear those songs again Resounding through the open sky, That kindled such divine delight, In those who watched their flocks by night. With them, I celebrate His birth; Glory to God, in highest Heaven, Good will to men, and peace on Earth, To us a Savior King is given; Our God is come to claim His own, And Satan’s power is overthrown! A sinless God, for sinful men, Descends to suffer and to bleed; Hell must renounce its empire then; The price is paid, the world is freed, And Satan’s self must now confess, That Christ has earned a right to bless. Now holy peace may smile from Heaven, And heavenly truth from earth shall spring: The captive’s galling bonds are riven, For our Redeemer is our King; And He that gave His blood for men Will lead us home to God again.

Receiving its Lord from above, The world was united to bless The Giver of concord and love, The Prince and the Author of peace. O wouldst Thou again be made known, Again in Thy Spirit descend, And set up in each of Thine own A kingdom that never shall end!

Come then to Thy servants again, Who long Thy appearing to know, Thy quiet and peaceable reign, In mercy establish below: All sorrow before Thee shall fly, And anger and hatred be o’er, And envy and malice shall die, And discord afflict us no more.

  All in the silent night, Numberless angels bright Came on their wings of light Thronging the deep blue sky; Beautiful songs they sang, Wonderful echoes rang; Glory to Christ our King, Glory to God on high. Refrain Glory, glory to God! Glory, glory to God, Glory, all glory to God on high! Let every listening heart reply; Glory, glory to God! Glory, glory to God, Far let the joyful tidings fly; All glory to God on high! Join in the song so sweet, Now with the shepherds meet, Haste to the Savior’s feet, Worship the Child divine; Come with the men of old, Nor let the heart withhold Aught of its purest gold; All to the King resign. Refrain Broken the shades of night; Hail to the Dayspring bright! Spreading the blessèd light, Tell of a Savior born, Till all mankind shall see Mercy, so great and free, Till on this earth shall be Dawn of eternal morn. Refrain

• [Luk 2:14] Angel Of Peace

  Angel of peace, thou hast wandered too long; Spread thy white wings to the sunshine of love! Come while our voices are blended in song, Fly to our ark like the storm-beaten dove— Fly to our ark on the wings of the dove; Speed o’er the far-sounding billows of song, Crowned with the olive leaf garland of love; Angel of peace, thou hast waited too long! Brothers we meet on this altar of thine, Mingling the gifts we have gathered for thee; Sweet with the odors of myrtle and pine, Breeze of the prairie and breath of the sea— Meadow and mountain and forest and sea; Sweet is the fragrance of myrtle and pine, Sweeter the incense we offer to thee, Brothers once more round this altar of thine! Angels of Bethlehem, answer the strain! Hark! a new birth-song is filling the sky! Loud as the storm wind that tumbles the main, Bid the full breath of the organ reply— Loud let the tempest of voices reply; Roll its long surge like the earth-shaking main! Swell the vast song till it mounts to the sky! Angels of Bethlehem, echo the strain!

Peace on earth, good-will to men.” Refrain Unto us is born a Savior, Unto us is born a King; “Peace on earth,” O chant the chorus, Let the world with gladness sing.

  As the shepherds watched at midnight On the hills so far away, Suddenly a light shone ’round them, Turning midnight into day. Then each heart was filled with wonder, For they could not understand Why the angel host that gathered Brought to them such music grand. Refrain Angels, sing your sweet refrain— Glory in the highest, glory! Tell the waiting earth your story Of the Christ Who came to reign. Sing—sing that sweet song again, Earth and sky repeat the story— Glory in the highest, glory! On earth peace, good will to men.

We can, like the shepherds, worship, Lay our lives at Jesus’ feet; With our hearts we can adore Him And the angels’ song repeat. Refrain

Your cradle was a manger stall, No pearl nor silk nor kingly hall. O let us go with quiet mind, The gentle Babe with shepherds find, To gaze on Him Who gladdens them, The loveliest flower of Jesse’s stem. The lowly Savior meekly lies, Laid off the splendor of the skies; No crown bedecks His forehead fair, No pearl, nor gem, nor silk is there. O wake, our hearts, in gladness sing, And keep our Christmas with our King, Till living song, from loving souls, Like sound of mighty water rolls. O holy Child, Thy manger gleams Till earth and heaven glow with its beams, Till midnight noon’s broad light hath won, And Jacob’s star outshines the sun.

Oh, the joy beyond expressing When by faith we grasp this blessing And to Thee we come confessing That our freedom Thou hast wrought! Gracious Child, we pray Thee, hear us, From Thy lowly manger cheer us, Gently lead us and be near us Till we join th’angelic choir.

• [Luk 2:15] Let Us Now Go To Bethlehem

  Let us now go to Bethlehem, To see the wondrous thing— Mary and Joseph and with them The Babe, our infant King! For we shall find on earth The Heav’n of Heav’ns in Him, The holy, holy, holy Son, Beneath the cherubim.1 Let us now go to Bethlehem, To see the wondrous thing— Mary and Joseph and with them The Babe, our infant King— His Father’s glory come To lift our hearts above. First loved by Him and angel hosts We carol back His love. Let us then go to Bethlehem— Faith’s star shall guide the way To Jesus cradled in His Church, This bright appearing day! There, light’s true Light to Thee We sing with glad accord. To meet it is to celebrate Thy birthday, Jesus, Lord! 1We see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; that He by the grace of God should taste death for every man. Hebrews 2:9

• [Luk 2:15] O Come, All Ye Faithful

  O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant, O come ye, O come ye, to Bethlehem. Come and behold Him, born the King of angels; Refrain O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord. True God of true God, Light from Light Eternal, Lo, He shuns not the Virgin’s womb; Son of the Father, begotten, not created; Refrain Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation; O sing, all ye citizens of heaven above! Glory to God, all glory in the highest; Refrain See how the shepherds, summoned to His cradle, Leaving their flocks, draw nigh to gaze; We too will thither bend our joyful footsteps; Refrain Lo! star led chieftains, Magi, Christ adoring, Offer Him incense, gold, and myrrh; We to the Christ Child bring our hearts’ oblations. Refrain Child, for us sinners poor and in the manger, We would embrace Thee, with love and awe; Who would not love Thee, loving us so dearly? Refrain Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, born this happy morning; Jesus, to Thee be all glory given; Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing. Refrain
