CHRISTMAS HYMN.
1
Hark! angel voices from the skyProclaim a Saviour's birth;
Glory, they sing, to God on high,
Peace and goodwill on earth!
2
Catch the glad strain, ye seraphs bright!The glorious tidings spread;
Wake, wake to wonder and to light,
The dark sleep of the dead!
3
Let the wide earth, from shore to shore,One loud hosannah raise,
Glory to God, whom we adore;
Glory and hymns of praise!
