Night Rested On Judea's Plains

Author: Anonymous Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: Night rested on Judea’s plains Lyrics: 1 Night rested on Judea’s plains When angels came to earth To bring the pious shepherds word Of their Redeemer’s birth; "The Christ is born!" the angel said, "Heaven bears to earth good will; Go quickly, in the manger find The King of Zion’s Hill; Go quickly, in the manger find The King of Zion’s Hill." 2 His words were true: the Child was found; And when to manhood grown, By Jordan’s stream to wondering crowds Jehovah made Him known; "This is My Son," the Father cried, "He comes to do My will; And He will be, by My decree, The King on Zion’s Hill; And He will be, by My decree, The King on Zion’s Hill." 3 Anointed thus the Heir went forth Our ruined world to save, And in this great and glorious work All Satan’s hosts to brave; And when the cross before Him rose— With heart undaunted still— "I shall yet be on earth," He said, "The King of Zion’s Hill. I shall yet be on earth, He said, The King of Zion’s Hill." 4 Nailed to the cross, His head He bowed, A prayer, and He was dead; The crisis of the world has come— O God! had mercy fled? His empty tomb the truth reveals— He did His word fulfill; He rose triumphant over death, The King of Zion’s Hill; He rose triumphant over death, The King of Zion’s Hill. 5 "Go preach My Word," was His command, To His disciples giv’n; Then slowly from the earth He rose To God’s right hand in Heav’n; His Church remains—His Word remains— Its glory growing still— And trusting millions wait to see The King of Zion’s Hill; And trusting millions wait to see The King of Zion’s Hill. 6 May we be found in that great day, Among the ransomed throng That with immortal tongues shall sing The new redemption song; For every foe must sink and fall Before His sovereign will, And Christ alone on earth renewed, Be King on Zion’s Hill; And Christ alone on earth renewed, Be King on Zion’s Hill.

Author of "Night Rested On Judea's Plains" in The Cyber Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
