11734. Night Of Nights

1 Night of nights! when the bells of Heaven
Sweetly rang thro’ the midnight air;
When the beautiful white-robed angels
Sang for joy in the skies so fair.

Refrain:
Night of nights thro’ holy portals
Comes again the chant sublime,
"Welcome now for the royal Stranger;
Greet your Lord this Christmas time!"
O night of nights! O night divine!

2 Floating down in a sea of glory,
Telling unto the shepherds true:
"Lo! this day in a lowly manger
Christ the Savior is born to you." [Refrain]

3 Night of nights! still the strains exultant
Thrill our souls with their notes sublime;
Still to those who with joy receive Him,
Jesus comes at the Christmas time. [Refrain]
