| Text: | Carol, Sweetly Carol |
| Author: | C. Austin Miles |
| Tune: | [Gather from the hillsides, gather from the plains] |
| Composer: | C. Austin Miles |
1 Gather from the hillsides, gather from the plains,
Sing a glad hosanna, Jesus ever reigns;
Lift your hearts and voices in a carol strong,
Power and dominion unto him belong.
Refrain:
Carol, sweetly carol, carol loud and long,
Raising happy voices in a joyous song;
Send the message ringing over land and wave,
Tell the slumb’ring nations Jesus waits to save.
2 Gather from the forest on this festal day,
Bringing royal garlands at his feet to lay;
Join the heav’nly chorus in a song of praise,
Singing songs of gladness for the best of days. [Refrain]
3 Born for our redemption, may we seek to know
More of Jesus’ spirit, in his grace to grow;
Tho’ a lowly manger shielded him at birth,
Now his pow’r is spreading over all the earth. [Refrain]
