The Celestial Chorus

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] Languages: English Tune Title: [Sweetly and soft­ly on my ear]
