Author: Edward H. Plumptre Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10258 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Hark, the hosts of Heaven are singing,
Praises to their new-born Lord,
Strains of sweetest music flinging,
Not a note or word unheard.
2 On this night, all nights excelling,
God’s high praises sounded forth,
While the angels’ songs were telling
Of the Lord’s mysterious birth.
3 Through the darkness, strangely splendid,
Flashed the light on shepherds’ eyes;
As their lowly flocks they tended,
Came new tidings from the skies.
4 All the hosts of Heaven are chanting
Songs with power to stir and thrill,
And the universe is panting
Joy’s deep longings to fulfill.
5 On this day then through creation
Let the glorious hymn ring out;
Let men hail the great salvation,
"God with us," with song and shout. Languages: English Tune Title: ADORATION
