An in­fant lay.
Resting not day or night.
Ring out, O stars, the sweet re­frain,
All the ra­di­ant hosts of Heav’n re­joice.

Ring, bells, ring, ring, ring!
Angels from Glo­ry are wing­ing their flight,
At the church the preach­er spoke the Word,
Thine image to regain,
And wakes the high­est note of praise
Fill the whole earth with grate­ful praise,
Let all, whom life and breath in­spire,
Breaks on Christ­mas morn.
And seized the shep­herds with sur­prise.
Silently, from wait­ing courts on high, on high,
Let dust in dust and si­lence lie;
And un­fold­ed they for ev­er shall be.
Good-will to men and peace on earth,
While the shep­herds gazed in fear,
Allelujah is the chor­us,

To ush­er in this day of days.
Lord, may we stand and sing
The song of peace o’er all the earth,
Of His glo­ry sing.
Full gent­ly breathes the whis­per­ing strain;
When He comes, when He comes,
Hark, the her­ald an­gels,
And in their midst an old man sang
And with Thine ancients reign.
It guides the mourn­ing wan­der­er home;
And all th’an­gel­ic choirs above.
But chief­ly ye, who know His Word,
Swell the migh­ty throng
This day is born the Sav­ior-King.
Bright an­gel choirs with tun­èd lyres,
Thousands of thou­sands stand around
All the saints raise ho­san­nahs on high;
At the di­vine Re­deem­er’s birth,
Oh, the bless­ed­ness to hear!
By the loved ones gone be­fore us,
