O’er hill and grassy plain,
Love can­not pass away.
In the fi­nal judg­ment day;
In the fi­nal judg­ment day;
Sweet is the sa­vor of their names,
Of an an­gel song and a vi­sion bright,
Arise, and hast­en to the Babe,

Keep their si­lent watch above.
Christ the Babe is Lord of all.
Thou spread’st the cur­tains of the night,
Unlooked for, in the dead of night,
Christ is born, tell the folk of the vil­lage,
Jesus lives for­ev­er­more.
And an­gels pass with rev­er­ent pace
The saints, when He re­signed His breath,

sleep­ing

Are sweet­ly sleep­ing, are sweet­ly sleep­ing;
Are sweet­ly sleep­ing, are sweet­ly sleep­ing;
A blind­ing light ap­peared;
Shall nev­er march again.
To loved ones may ap­pear,
In the final judg­ment day.
In the final judg­ment day.
They died in Je­sus, and are blest;
But what does it mean to you and me?
Fast in the sta­ble sleep­ing.
Calm and still a babe we see,
And dark­ness fast is creep­ing
Send Thy guard­ian an­gels bright,
Vigil till the morn­ing new
Thy sov­er­eign Word re­stores the light,
Let all who Je­sus know,
Ah, ah, beau­ti­ful is the mo­ther,
Early on that East­er day,
Where Thou art calm­ly sleep­ing.
He breaks again the bonds of death,
