God hath sent His Angels to the earth again

Author: P. Brooks Appears in 70 hymnals Matching Instances: 39 Lyrics: 1 God hath sent His Angels to the earth again, Bringing joyful tidings to the sons of men. They who first at Christmas, throng'd the heav'nly way, Now beside the tomb-door, sit on Easter Day. Refrain: Angels sing His triumph, as you sang His birth, "Christ the Lord is risen," "Peace, good-will on earth." 2 In the dreadful desert, where the Lord was tried, There the faithful Angels gathered at His side. And when in the garden, grief and pain and care Bowed Him down with anguish, they were with Him there. [Refrain] 3 Yet the Christ they honour, is the same Christ still, Who, in light and darkness, did His Father's will. And the tomb deserted, shineth like the sky, Since He passed out from it, into victory. [Refrain] 4 God has still His Angels, helping, at His word, All His faithful children, like their faithful Lord; Soothing them in sorrow, arming them in strife, Opening wide the tomb-doors, leading into Life. [Refrain] 5 Father, send Thine Angels unto us, we pray; Leave us not to wander, all along our way. Let them guard and guide us, wheresoe'er we be, Til our resurrection brings us home to Thee. [Refrain] Topics: Youth and School Life Carols Used With Tune: [God hath sent His Angels to the earth again]

Whence Those Sounds Symphonious?

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 11.11 D Appears in 6 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Whence those sounds symphonious? Solemn, sweet and rare, Music most harmonious Filling all the air: Hark! ’tis angels singing, Singing here on earth; Joyful tidings bringing, Of the Savior’s birth. 2 In that region yonder, Where the angels sing, Bursts of joy and wonder Make the air to ring: Praise and adoration Be to God above: And to man, salvation, Object now of love. 3 Now, ye heavens, sing ye; Earth, break forth and cry; O ye mountains, ring ye, With the sound of joy; For the Lord has done it: His the victory. His own arm hath won it: Israel shall be free. Used With Tune: ZOVKO Text Sources: Hymns Not Before Published (Dublin: Thomas Johnston, 1815)

Hark, what angels sing: Was there e’er such music borne on rising wing? See, the gates of Heaven on their portals rise, And the song that charms us comes from paradise. 2 Glory in the highest! Christ our Lord is born; Hail His glorious advent on this happy morn; Ages long have waited ’mid their brooding ills; Now the herald-voices wake the silent hills. 3 Herdsmen in their watching lift their eyes amazed; Sages from the sunland st the starlight gazed; And they bear their treasures, gold for diadem, Meet to crown the monarch born at Bethlehem. 4 Glory in the highest! with the sages bring What is best and fairest for an offering; Lay before the manger where the Infant lies, All your heart’s devotion, love’s best sacrifice.
