When thro' his Eyes the Godhead shone! 6 Arch-Angels leave their high Abode, To learn new Myst'ries here, and tell The Loves of our descending God, The Glories of EMANUEL. Scripture: John 1:1

Sears Appears in 911 hymnals Topics: Christ Incarnation of First Line: It came upon the midnight clear Lyrics: 1 It came upon the midnight clear, That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth, To touch their harps of gold; "Peace to the earth, good-will to men, From heaven's all-gracious King:" The earth in solemn stillness lay, To hear the angels sing. 2 Still through the cloven skies they come, With peaceful wings unfurled; And still celestial music floats O'er all the weary world; Above its sad and lowly plains They bend on heavenly wing, And ever o'er its Babel sounds, The blessed angels sing. 3 O ye, beneath life's crushing load, Whose forms are bending low, Who toil along the climbing way, With painful steps and slow;-- Look up! for glad and golden hours Come swiftly on the wing; Oh, rest beside the weary road, And hear the angels sing! 4 For lo! the days are hastening on, By prophet-bards foretold, When with the ever-circling years Comes round the age of gold! When peace shall over all the earth Its final splendors fling, And the whole world send back the song Which now the angels sing! Used With Tune: CAROL

Faithful, Jesus bore it spotless to the last, brought it back victorious when from death he passed. 3 Name him, Christians, name him, with love strong as death, name with awe and wonder, and with bated breath; this is God the Saviour; this is Christ the Lord, ever to be worshipped trusted and adored. 4 In your hearts enthrone him; there let him subdue all that is not holy, all that is not true, Crown him as your captain in temptation's hour; let his will enfold you in its light and power. 5 Christians, this Lord Jesus shall return again, with his Father's glory and an angel train, for all wreaths of empire meet upon his brow, and our hearts confess him King of glory now.
