The Prince of Peace (Entwisle)

Composer: Howard Entwisle, 1896

We will tell the won­drous sto­ry

Of hap­py tid­ings brought to earth

Of the an­gel hosts in glo­ry

Proclaiming Je­sus’ birth;

Hear the heav’n­ly voic­es sing­ing

Good will on earth to men

Unto you is born a Sav­ior

A prince

in Beth­le­hem.

Let us sing with joy and glad­ness

The hap­py songs of Je­sus’ love

’Till we join the heav’n­ly chor­us

In that bright home above.

Here we raise our tune­ful voic­es

To sing of Christ

the new­born King

Telling how the men of wis­dom

Their pre­cious gifts did bring;

Telling how the shep­herds wor­shiped

The in­fant Sav­ior there

Bowing low in ad­or­ation

O

vi­sion grand and fair.

On the great white throne in glo­ry

That Sav­ior

once of earth

doth wait

While the saints around are beck’n­ing

Within the pear­ly gate.

Soon we’ll lay aside earth’s tri­als

And when our jour­ney’s o’er

We will meet the King eter­nal

Upon the gold­en shore.
