Come heaven's melodious strains,
Where wild Judea stretches far
Her silver-mantled plains.
2 Celestial choirs, from courts above,
Shed sacred glories there;
And angels, with their sparkling lyres,
Make music on the air.
3 The joyous hills of Palestine
Send back the glad reply;
And greet, from all their holy heights,
The day-spring from on high.
4 O'er the blue depths of Galilee
There comes a holier calm;
And Sharon waves, in solemn praise,
Her silent groves of palm.
5 "Glory to God!" the sounding skies
Loud with their anthems ring;
"Peace to the earth--good-will to men,
From heaven's eternal King."
Calm on the listening ear of night
