Author: Phillips Brooks Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16421 First Line: The earth has grown old with its burden of care Lyrics: 1 The earth has grown old with its burden of care,
But at Christmas it always is young;
And the soul of its music breaks forth on the air;
When the song of the angels is sung.
It is coming, old earth, it is coming tonight,
On the snowflakes which cover thy sod,
And the voice of the Christ Child tells out with delight,
That we all can be children of God.
2 On the sad and the lonely, the wretched and poor,
That voice of the Christ Child shall fall;
And to every blind wanderer opens the door,
With a sunshine and welcome for all.
The feet of the humblest may walk in the field,
Where the feet of the Holiest have trod,
And this is the marvel to mortals revealed,
That we all can be children of God.
