Life mounts in every throbbing vein, Love deepens round the hearth, And clearer sounds the angel hymn, "Good will to men on earth." 3 O God, from whose unfathomed law The year in beauty flows, Yourself the vision passing by In crystal and in rose, Day unto day does utter speech, And night to night proclaim, In ever-changing words of light, The wonder of your name.
