A thousand years have come and gone

Author: Rev. Thomas Toke Lynch Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 33 hymnals Topics: Christ Birth and Infancy of Lyrics: 1 A thousand years have come and gone, And near a thousand more, Since happier light from heaven shone Than ever shone before; And in the hearts of old and young A joy most joyful stirred, That sent such news from tongue to tongue As ears had never heard. 2 Then angels on their starry way Felt bliss unfelt before, For news that men should be as they, To darkened earth they bore; So toiling men and spirits bright A first communion had, And in meek mercy's rising light Were each exceeding glad. 3 And we are glad, and we will sing, As in the days of yore; Come all, and hearts made ready bring, To welcome back once more The day when first on wintry earth A summer change began, And, dawning in a lowly birth, Uprose the Light of man. 4 For trouble such as men must bear From childhood to fourscore, He shared with us, that we might share His joy for evermore; And twice a thousand years of grief, Of conflict, and of sin, May tell how large the harvest sheaf His patient love shall win. Amen. Used With Tune: NOEL

This glorious morn, (Let all attend!) Your matchless friend, Your Saviour's born. 4 Glory to God on high! Ye mortals, spread the sound, And let your raptures fly To earth's remotest bound: For peace on earth, From God in heav'n, To man is giv'n, At Jesus' birth.
