No War Nor Battle's Sound

Author: John Milton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10666 Meter: 12.10.12.10 First Line: No war nor battle’s sound was heard the world around Lyrics: 1 No war nor battle’s sound was heard the world around— No hostile chiefs to furious combat ran; But peaceful was the night in which the Prince of Light His reign of peace upon the earth began. 2 No conqueror’s sword He bore, nor warlike armor wore, Nor haughty passions roused to contest wild; In peace and love He came, and gentle was the reign Which o’er the earth He spread by influence mild. 3 Unwilling kings obeyed, and sheathed the battle blade, And called their bloody legions from the field; In silent awe they wait, and close the warrior’s gate, Nor know to whom their homage thus they yield. 4 The peaceful Conqueror goes, And triumphs o’er His foes, His weapons drawn from armories above; Behold the vanquished sit submissive at His feet, And strife and hate are changed to peace and love.

No war nor battle's sound

Author: Dwight Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #762 (1873) Lyrics: 1 No war nor battle's sound Was heard the earth around-- No hostile chiefs to furious combat ran; But peaceful was the night In which the Prince of Light His reign of peace upon the earth began. 2 No conqueror's sword he bore, Nor warlike armor wore, Nor haughty passions roused to contest wild; In peace and love he came, And gentle was the reign Which o'er the earth he spread by influence mild. 3 Unwilling kings obeyed, And sheathed the battle-blade, And called their bloody legions from the field; In silent awe they wait, And close the warrior's gate, Nor know to whom their homage thus they yield. 4 The peaceful Conqueror goes, And triumphs o'er his foes, His weapons drawn from armories above; Behold the vanquished sit Submissive at his feet, And strike and hate are changed to peace and love.

No war nor battle's sound

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #51 (1867) Lyrics: 1 No war nor battle's sound Was heard the world around, No hostile chiefs to furious combat ran, But peaceful was the night, In which the Prince of light His reign of peace upon the earth began. 2 The shepherds on the lawn, Before the point of dawn, In social circle sat; while all around, The gentle, fleecy brood, Or cropped the flowery food, Or slept, or sported on the verdant ground,-- 3 When, lo! with ravishing ears, Each swain delighted hears, Sweet music, offspring of no mortal hand; Divinely-warbled voice, Answering the stringed noise, With blissful rapture charmed the listening band. 4 They saw a glorious light Burst on their wondering sight Harping in solemn choir, in robes arrayed, The helmed cherubim And sworded seraphim Are seen in glittering ranks, with wings displayed. 5 Sounds of so sweet a tone Before were never known, But when of old the sons of morning sung, While God disposed in air Each constellation fair, And the well-balanced world on hinges hung. 6 "Hail, hail, auspicious morn! The Saviour Christ is born!" Such was th' immortal seraph's song sublime; "Glory to God in heaven To man sweet peace be given, Sweet peace and friendship to the end of time."
