Angel Hosts in Bright Array

Author: George Grantham Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #179 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D with refrain Refrain First Line: Ring the bells, and sound the horn! Lyrics: 1. 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! 2. 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] 3. 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] 4. 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] 5. 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] Languages: English Tune Title: NEWPORT NEWS
