And chaunt the solemn lay;
Joy, love and gratitude combine
To hail th' auspicious day.
2 In heaven the rapturous song began,
And sweet seraphic fire
Thro' all the shining legions ran,
And strung and tun'd the lyre.
3 Swift thro' the vast expanse it flew,
And loud the echo roll'd;
The theme, the song, the joy, was new,
'Twas more than heaven could hold,
4 Down thro' the portals of the sky
Th' impetuous torrent ran;
And angels flew with eager joy
To bear the news to man.
5 [Wrapt in the silence of the night
Lay all the eastern world,
When bursting, glorious, heavenly light
The wond'rous scene unfurl'd.]
6 Hark! the cherubic armies shout:
And glory leads the song:
Good-will and peace are heard throughout
Th' harmonious heavenly throng.
7 [O for a glance of heavenly love
Our hearts and songs to raise;
Sweetly to bear our souls above
And mingle with their lays!]
8 With joy the chorus we'll repeat
"Glory to God on high:
"Good-will and peace are now complete,
"Jesus was born to die."
9 Hail, prince of life, for ever hail!
Redeemer, brother, friend!
Tho' earth, and time, and life should fail,
Thy praise shall never end. Topics: The Incarnation of Christ; Angels song at the birth of Christ; Birth of Christ; Song of the angel's at Christ's birth

ere the worlds began to be,
he is Alpha and Omega,
he the source, the ending he,
of the things that are, that have been,
and that future years shall see,
evermore and evermore.
2 By his word was all created;
he commanded; it was done:
heaven and earth and depths of ocean,
universe of three in one;
all that sees the moon's soft shining,
all that breathes beneath the sun,
evermore and evermore.
3 O that birth for ever blessèd,
when the Virgin, full of grace,
by the Spirit's power conceiving,
bore the Saviour of our race,
and the Babe, the world's Redeemer,
first revealed his sacred face,
evermore and evermore.
4 This is he whom seers and sages
sang of old with one accord,
whom the voices of the prophets
promised in their faithful word;
now he shines, the long-expected;
let creation praise its Lord,
evermore and evermore.
5 All the heights of heaven, adore him;
angel hosts, his praises sing;
powers, dominions bow before him,
and extol our God and King;
let no tongue on earth be silent,
every voice in concert ring,
evermore and evermore.
6 Christ, to thee, with God the Father,
and, O Holy Ghost, to thee,
hymn and chant and high thanksgiving,
and unwearied praises be,
honour, glory and dominion,
and eternal victory,
evermore and evermore. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Christmas and Epiphany; Jesus Word of God Used With Tune: CORDE NATUS (DIVINUM MYSTERIUM)

There's a Song in the Air
Author: Josiah G. Holland Appears in 202 hymnals Scripture: Luke 2:14 First Line: There's a song in the air! Lyrics: 1 There’s a song in the air!
There’s a star in the sky!
There’s a mother’s deep prayer,
And a baby’s low cry!
And the star rains its fire while the beautiful sing,
For the manger of Bethlehem cradles a King!
2 There’s a tumult of joy
O’er the wonderful birth,
For the virgin’s sweet Boy
Is the Lord of the earth.
Ay! the star rains its fire while the beautiful sing,
For the manger of Bethlehem cradles a King!
3 In the light of that star
Lie the ages impearled;
And that song from afar
Has swept over the world.
Every hearth is aflame, and the beautiful sing
In the homes of the nations that Jesus is King!
4 We rejoice in the light,
And we echo the song
That comes down thro' the night
From the heavenly throng.
Ay! we shout to the lovely evangel they bring,
And we greet in His cradle our Savior and King!
