Author: Theodore Chickering Williams, 1855-1915 Meter: 6.5.5.6.5 D Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In the lonely midnight
on the wintry hill,
shepherds heard the angels
singing, "Peace, good will."
Listen, O ye weary,
to the angels’ song,
unto to you the tidings
of great joy belong.
2 Though in David’s city
angels sing no more,
love makes angel music
on earth’s darkest shore.
Though no heavenly glory
meet your wondering eyes,
love can make your dwelling
bright as paradise.
3 Though the child of Mary,
heralded on high,
in his manger cradle
may no longer lie,
love will reign forever,
though the proud world scorn;
if you truly seek peace,
Christ for you is born. Topics: Jewish and Christian Teachings Christmas Used With Tune: ADORO TE DEVOTE
