Author: Frances Jane (Fanny) Crosby Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #181 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal First Line: Hark! the mighty tones sublime Refrain First Line: Unto us a Child is giv'n Lyrics: 1. Hark! the mighty tones sublime,
Trumpet tongues of olden time—
Breathing on the silent air,
Shouting glory everywhere!
Hark! again their joyful sound
Rings afar, the earth around;
While a vast, adoring throng
Catch the strain and join the song.
Refrain
Unto us a Child is giv’n;
Open now the gates of Heav’n;
Eden lost, to man restored,
Thro’ the birth of Christ the Lord.
2. Mourning captive, cease thy tears;
Lo! the promised day appears,
Thro’ the misty veil of night,
Bursting in a flood of light;
Oh, what wondrous things are done
By the Father, thro’ the Son!
Oh, the smile of pard’ning grace,
Beaming in the Savior’s face. [Refrain]
3. Now with healing in her wings,
Hark! a white robed angel sings:
Mortals, from the realms above
I have borne my harp of love;
Hallelujah! sing with me;
Hail your greatest jubilee!
Sing, in purest, sweetest lays,
On this holy day of days. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Hark! the mighty tones sublime]
