Hymnal: Voices of Praise #287 (1883) Lyrics: 1 Blessed night when Bethlehem's plain
Echoed with the joyful strain,
"Peace has come to earth again."
Alleluia!
2 Blessed hills, that hear the song
Of the glorious angel-throng
Swelling all your slopes along.
Alleluia!
3 Happy shepherds, on whose ear,
Fell the tidings glad and clear,
"God to man is drawing near."
Alleluia!
4 Thus revealed to shepherds' eyes,
Hidden from the great and wise,
Entering earth in lowly guise--
Alleluia!
5 Entering by the narrow door,
Laid upon this rocky floor.
Placed in yonder manger poor.
Alleluia!
7 Mighty King of Righteousness.
King of Glory, King of Peace,
Never shall Thy kingdom cease!
Alleluia!
Amen. Topics: Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: S. EANSWYTH
