All the light of sac­red sto­ry
Night of nights thro’ ho­ly por­tals
Peace on earth, it ech­oes o’er us,
Came the Christ­mas time,
Now their chang­es rise and fall,
Can blight the ecstasy
Round which the Christ­ian heart will ev­er twine.
I find my Heav’n on earth be­gun.
Foretold by rap­tured seers—
Of Thine eter­ni­ty.
He loves each lit­tle one.
Hasten the time when, from ev­ery clime,
Life’s com­mon ways ex­alt­ed are,
Young souls so strong the race to run
O liv­ing Church, thine er­rand speed,
There, nei­ther sin nor any grief
O be rea­dy for that time,
Loudly Her­ald Gospel song.
Shall hearts e’er sun­der, in that fair clime,
Beautiful bells of Ed­en chime,

sub­lime

When the woes of life o’er­take me—
Welcome now for the roy­al Strang­er;
Peace on earth, O migh­ty chor­us!
Glory-light from Heav­en
Sounding clear­ly through them all,
My Sav­ior gives to me.
Sacred each scene of thine, blest Pal­es­tine.
I’ve Je­sus with me all the time.
The hope of all the years.
O’er-arch us like the sky;
A life of love He knew,
end
By light which falls from Christ­mas star,
Unweary still would ye march on
With bread of life earth’s hun­gers feed;
Heaven’s high arch­es shall ev­er ring,
For the com­ing of the Sav­ior draw­eth nigh.
Earth, re­joice thro’ com­ing time;
None want­ing yon­der! Bought by the Lamb,
Echo of joy from a white-robed throng,
