Representative Text

1 O let your mingling voices rise
In grateful rapture to the skies,
And hail a Savior’s birth;
Let songs of joy the day proclaim,
When Jesus all-triumphant came,
To bless the sons of earth.

2 He comes to bid the weary rest,
To heal the sinner’s wounded breast,
To bind the broken heart;
To spread the light of truth around,
And to the world’s remotest bound
The heavenly gift impart.

3 He comes our sinking souls to save,
From sin, from sorrow, and the grave,
And chase our fears away;
Triumphant over death and time,
To lead us to a happier clime,
Where reigns eternal day.

4 Then let your mingling voices rise,
In grateful rapture to the skies,
And hail a Savior’s birth;
Let songs of joy the day proclaim,
When Jesus all-triumphant came,
To bless the sons of earth.

FRANCES (McGranahan)

Better known for his gospel songs than his hymn tunes, James McGranahan (PHH 99) wrote FRANCES in the latter part of the nineteenth century.
