On each the fire, des­cend­ing, stood
To lead men in His way;
Those joy­ous East­er bells;
Is migh­ti­ly out­poured,

Only an emp­ty name.
Let that sweet strain be heard again,
The lips that speak, the truth to hide,
’Tis when tongue and heart con­sent,

Tongues, that their words might rea­dy prove,
To tell men how He died;
How sweet the mu­sic swells;
The won­ders of the Lord.
And nob­ler speech than an­gels use,
And be of no av­ail,
Which an­gel tongues be­gan.
That boast­ful words em­ploy,
Hymning Thee in tune­ful songs!
