Author: C. Louise Bell Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16426 First Line: Sweetly and softly on my ear Refrain First Line: It is the echo of the song, Lyrics:
1 Sweetly and softly on my ear
A wondrous chorus breaks;
A melody that calms all fear,
That in my soul awakes.
Refrain:
It is the echo of the song,
First heard upon that night;
When shepherds saw the heav’nly throng,
In glittering raiment bright.
Fear not, O trembling heart, but sing,
For thee a Savior’s born;
Let every soul its tribute bring,
And hail the joyous morn.
2 Within the east, lo! Christmas day
Breaks with its rosy light;
My soul, that song divine obey,
And praise Him day and night. [Refrain]
