Jesus ap­peared on earth,
The name of Jesus is so sweet,
Sing on, sing on, glad soul, sing on;
I love to sing its worth;
Murmuring soft­ly, car­ol­ing gent­ly,
start
From the star­ry heights of Heav­en
Tenderly, soft and clear
In the Fa­ther’s home on high;
And worship lifeless idols;
Light from a sta­ble shin­ing,
Singing, sooth­ing souls to ease,
Lo! a star­ry light is shin­ing,
Steadily march­ing on, stea­di­ly march­ing on;
Solemn, sweet and rare,
Of the joy of souls for­giv’n.
If Je­sus per­mit, the wild surg­es I’ll brave;
Though in Da­vid’s ci­ty an­gels sing no more,
Bright as the morn­ing when o’er the earth,
Alleluya, al­le­lu­ya.

Music

Burst from the child­ren forth.
It makes my joys full and complete,
Let songs of joy by year em­ploy,
The sweetest name on earth.
Over the wa­ters, beau­ti­ful wa­ters,
Is this which is greet­ing with rap­ture my ear?
And the theme to man was giv­en,
In our Sab­bath dwell­ing,
Scenes, too bright for mor­tal eye.
We will not forget our God!
Hailing the won­drous ad­vent,
Blessèd fount! the pur­est known,
Shepherds on the plains re­clin­ing
Steadily march­ing on, march­ing on, march­ing on.
Filling all the air:
Thro’ the courts of Heav­en ab­ove;
I must join in that chor­us! I’ll go! Let me go.
Though no heav­en­ly glo­ry meet your won­der­ing eyes,
Wondrous the sto­ry, tell­ing His glo­ry,
Alleluya, al­le­lu­ya;
