Author: Henry R. Bramley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7294 Lyrics: 1. What soul inspiring music Thrills through the midnight air? What sounds of heav’nly sweetness Dispel all doubt and care? Every star and constellation Sheds a radiance doubly bright; See the Pleiads and Orion Glitter keenly in the height! Sparkling fires, like twinkling blossoms Stud night’s robe with light. 2. Strange forms float hovering o’er us, New sounds fall on our ear; God’s angel bids us welcome, His voice says, Never fear! Born to you in David’s city Lies the Savior, all divine, David’s Root and David’s offspring, Promised Seed of David’s line; He is swathed and in a manger; Take this for a sign. 3. Straight, crowds of heavenly warriors, Outshining every star, Stand forth round that one herald Proclaiming peace afar; Choirs of angels and archangels, Seraphim and cherubim, Thrones and princedoms, dominations, Powers and might which wax not dim; Spirit-hosts in ranks celestial, Raise one joyous hymn. 4. Speed, shepherds, leave your sheepfolds, To Bethle’m haste away; Fall on your knees before Him, Salute Him while ye may: Bring your offerings, bring your treasure, Open wide each simple store; Pipe and dance in rustic measure, In His manger Him adore; Every deed to give Him pleasure Be yours evermore.
