10226. What A Shout Was Heard!

1 What a shout was heard in the realms of light,
When peace and truth, descending,
With a marshaled host in their robes of white,
Sang praise to God on high!
O shout again, ye sons of men,
Sing praise to God above.
Till the utmost bounds of the world shall wake
One mighty song of love.

Refrain:
Ring on, ye bells, ye chiming bells,
Your tuneful measure swelling;
Ring on, ye bells, ye chiming bells,
The grand old story telling.
What a shout was heard in the realms of light
When peace and truth, descending,
With a marshaled host in their robes of white,
Sang praise to God on high.

2 There was joy, great joy—’twas a glorious sight,
The shepherds gazed in wonder,
When the earth was filled with a splendor bright,
From God’s eternal home.
Great joy today, O let it ring
As on that sacred morn,
When the angel band in a far off land
Proclaimed the Savior born. [Refrain]
