Author: Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. Meter: 10.10.10.10 D Appears in 36 hymnals First Line: Angel of peace, thou hast wandered too long Lyrics: 1. Angel of peace, thou hast wandered too long; Spread thy white wings to the sunshine of love! Come while our voices are blended in song, Fly to our ark like the storm-beaten dove— Fly to our ark on the wings of the dove; Speed o’er the far-sounding billows of song, Crowned with the olive leaf garland of love; Angel of peace, thou hast waited too long! 2. Brothers we meet on this altar of thine, Mingling the gifts we have gathered for thee; Sweet with the odors of myrtle and pine, Breeze of the prairie and breath of the sea— Meadow and mountain and forest and sea; Sweet is the fragrance of myrtle and pine, Sweeter the incense we offer to thee, Brothers once more round this altar of thine! 3. Angels of Bethlehem, answer the strain! Hark! a new birth-song is filling the sky! Loud as the storm wind that tumbles the main, Bid the full breath of the organ reply— Loud let the tempest of voices reply; Roll its long surge like the earth-shaking main! Swell the vast song till it mounts to the sky! Angels of Bethlehem, echo the strain!

Glad Was The Message

Author: Horace L. Hastings Meter: 10.10.10.10 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Glad was the message, and joyous the strain Lyrics: 1 Glad was the message, and joyous the strain, Brought to the shepherds on Bethlehem’s plain; Chanted by angels who came from above Bearing glad tidings of mercy and love; Bringing good news to the nations of earth, News of a Savior, whose glorious birth Gave to this sad world a message of peace, Bidding its woe and its warfare to cease. 2 Lo! in the manger the Savior is laid; Earth has no refuge, no place for His head; Sojourner, stranger, and wanderer here, Dark was His lot, and His pilgrimage drear; But in His mercy and kindness He came, Seeking to win us from sorrow and shame; Bidding the troubled to come and be blessed; Calling the way-worn and weary to rest. 3 Oh, may we ponder and keep in our mind God’s wondrous mercy in saving mankind; Sending His Son who, in seeking the lost, Lay in the manger and hung on the cross; Following Him, by His help and His grace, We shall be with Him and gaze on His face; Then with the ransomed and glorified throng, We shall adore Him with harp and with song.
