The Angels' Song

Sears Appears in 870 hymnals Topics: The Lord Jesus Christ; Advent of Christ At Birth; Angels; Christ Advent at Birth; National; Peace National; Advent of Christ At Birth; Angels; Christ Advent at Birth; National; Peace National First Line: It came upon the midnight clear Lyrics: 1 It came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth,
To touch their harps of gold;
"Peace to the earth, good-will to men,
From heaven's all-gracious King:"
The earth in solemn stillness lay,
To hear the angels sing.
2 Still through the cloven skies they come,
With peaceful wings unfurled;
And still celestial music floats
O'er all the weary world;
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on heavenly wing,
And ever o'er its Babel sounds,
The blessed angels sing.
3 O ye, beneath life's crushing load,
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toil along the climbing way,
With painful steps and slow;
Look up! for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing;
Oh, rest beside the weary road,
And hear the angels sing!
4 For lo! the days are hastening on,
By prophet-bards foretold,
When with the ever-circling years
Comes round the age of gold!
When peace shall over all the earth
Its final splendors fling,
And the whole world send back the song
Which now the angels sing! Used With Tune: CAROL

In agony and blood;
Who fixed his languid eyes on me,
As near the cross I stood.
2 Sure, never, till my latest breath,
Can I forget that look:
It seemed to charge me with his death,
Though not a word he spoke.
3 Alas! I knew not what I did,
But now my tears are vain;
Where shall my trembling soul be hid,
For I the Lord have slain!
4 A second look he gave, that said,
"I freely all forgive:
This blood is for thy ransom paid;
I die that thou may'st live.
5 Thus while his death my sin displays
In all its blackest hue,
Such is the mystery of grace,
It seals my pardon too! Used With Tune: MANOAH

He now displays his pardoning love.

While we rejoice to see the day;
Come, Lord! nor let thy promise fail,
Nor let thy chariot long delay. Used With Tune: DUKE STREET

Thy rod and staff my comfort still,
Thy cross before to guide me.

Thy unction grace bestoweth,
And, oh, what transport of delight
From thy pure chalice floweth.

Thy goodness faileth never,

Within thy house for ever. Used With Tune: DOMINUS REGIT
