Author:John G. Whittier
Tune:[Sound over all waters, reach out from all lands]
Composer:Grace Wilbur Conant

229. Sound Over All Waters

1 Sound over all waters, reach out from all lands,
The chorus of voices, the clasping of hands;
Sing hymns that were sung by the stars of the morn,
Sing songs of the angels when Jesus was born.

2 Blow, bugles of battle, the marches of peace;
East, west, north, and south, let the strong quarrel cease;
O sing ye the song that the angels began,
Sing glory to God, and of goodwill unto man!

3 With glad jubilations, bring hope to the nations,
The dark night is ending, and dawn has begun;
Rise, hope of the ages, arise like the sun;
All speech flow to music, all hearts beat as one!
