Louder still the mu­sic swells;
For rest is sweet at Je­sus’ feet,
Watch with me this night!
Christ the Babe is Lord of all.
To the glad New Year.
Weary pil­grim, come and rest—
Seeking the Sav­ior from all earth­ly woe;
To re­deem the souls that fell.
Hear the an­gels sing­ing,
Hear the an­gels sing­ing,
And ec­ho thro’ the sky;
Music God’s love did in­spire;
They lin­gered and ad­ored.
And glow of sum­mer air,
start
How blest the truth, the sto­ry of His birth!
Clear through the night;
Pointing to Christ the way;
Coming on the breeze,

wing­ing

Comes the chime of ves­per bells.
While home­ward faith keeps wing­ing.
Sun and sha­dow cease;
Noels ring­ing, tid­ings bring­ing:
Silently to Heav’n,
Gathering saints to man­sions blest.
Heaven’s ech­oes ring­ing, peace on earth bring­ing,
Bright their way thro’ realms ab­ove,
Glory in the high­est!
Glory in the high­est!
The Lord has ris’n to­day.
Bright rob­ed and gold­en that choir!
Now peace on earth! was sing­ing.
Of love and joy and pray­er.
Angels come sing­ing,
May the grand chor­us re-ec­ho round the earth!
Home through the night;
Over the si­lent hill,
Over lands and seas.
