That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold:

From heav'n's all-gracious King;"

To hear the angels sing.

With peaceful wings unfurled,
And still their heav'nly music floats
O'er all the weary world:
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on hov'ring wing,
And ever o'er its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing.
3 And ye, beneath life's crushing load,
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toil along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow,
Look now! for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing:
O 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 ancient splendors fling,
And all the world give back the song
Which now the angels sing. Topics: The Liturgical Year Christmas (Days of) Languages: English Tune Title: CAROL

Through the wave that drowns the foe.

Eat we manna from above.

Hell's fierce pow'rs beneath you lie;

Now no more the grave enthrall;
You have opened Paradise,
And in you the saints shall rise.

This alone can sin destroy;
From sin's pow'r, Lord, set us free,
Newborn souls in you to be.

With the Spirit, praise we sing.
