Once o'er Judea's Hills by Night

Author: Mary Bridges Canedy Slade Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5199 Refrain First Line: Our song we raise as God we praise Lyrics: 1. Once o’er Judea’s hills by night Was heard a joyful sound, A host appeared, of angels bright, And glory shone around. Fear not, they sing, to you we bring Glad tidings, peace on earth; Good will to men, they caroled then, And sang the Savior’s birth. On Bethl’em’s plain no more we hear The wondrous heav’nly chime; But we can sound a strain as dear, This joyful Christmas morn. Refrain Our song we raise as God we praise, Good will and peace on earth; With heart and voice we all rejoice, And sing the Savior’s birth. 2. When they had sung their song of love, The angels went away, To sing in joyful courts above That first glad Christmas day. The shepherds heard the wondrous word The angels brought to them; Then hastened they where sleeping lay The Babe of Bethlehem. Around the manger gathering, O! let us prostrate fall; And to the infant Savior bring Our hearts, our lives our all! [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Once o'er Judea's hills by night]
