Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #97 (1814) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 Hark! what celetial notes, What melody we hear! Soft on the morn it floats, And fills the ravish'd ear. The tunefull shell, The golden lyre, And vocal choir The concert swell. 2 Th' angelick hosts descend, With harmony divine: See how from heav'n they bend, And in full chorus join. Fear not, say they; Great joy we bring: Jesus, your King, Is born to day. 3 He comes, from error's night Your wan'dring feet to save; To realms of bliss and light He lifts you from the grave. This glorious morn, (Let all attend!) Your matchless friend, Your Saviour's born. 4 Glory to God on high! Ye mortals, spread the sound, And let your raptures fly To earth's remotest bound: For peace on earth, From God in heav'n, To man is giv'n, At Jesus' birth.
