The Cyber Hymnal ‎#8009

8009. 'Tis Christmas Morn

1 ’Tis Christmas morn! with noiseless tread
The centuries have onward sped;
Proud, earthly powers have passed away,
And kingdoms crumbled to decay.

2 But perfume from the Magi gift
And echoes from the angels’ chime
Still linger on the Christmas air,
And float upon the stream of time.

3 And swift-winged winds for aye repeat
The tidings which the shepherds told,
The story of redeeming love—
Forever new, forever old!
