'Tis Christmas Eve

Author: Mary P. Beegle Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: ’Tis Christmas eve! The setting sun Lyrics: 1 ’Tis Christmas eve! The setting sun Makes shadows lengthen on the plain; The stars come twinkling one by one, And bring the joyous night again. 2 Unlike Judea’s silent plains When wearied nature calmly slept, While shepherds on the hills and glens Their long and solemn vigils kept. 3 And where along the deep blue arch A glory shone, and then a throng, From where the sparkling planets march Came flying down with joyous song. 4 Unlike the time the wicked king Sought where the infant Savior lay, When God forbade his base design, And bore the precious child away. 5 We joy to know that time is past, The blessèd Savior’s natal day, That He’s ascended to His home, And for His saints prepared the way. 6 Where angels tune their harps of gold And saints a loftier song shall raise, While waiting myriads join the strain In an eternal song of praise. Used With Tune: MATER MISERICORDIAE Text Sources: Ocean Spray (Ocean Grove, NJ, 1876)
