Calm on the listening ear of night

Author: Edmund H. Sears Appears in 352 hymnals Topics: Christ First Advent Lyrics: 1 Calm on the listening ear of night, Come heaven's melodious strains, Where wild Judea stretches far Her silver-mantled plains; Celestial choirs from courts above Shed sacred glories there; And angels, with their sparkling lyres, Make music on the air. 2 The answering hills of Palestine Send back the glad reply, And greet from all their holy hights The Dayspring from on high: O'er the blue depths of Galilee There comes a holier calm; And Sharon waves in solemn praise Her silent groves of palm. 3 "Glory to God!" the lofty strain The realm of ether fills; How sweeps the song of solemn joy O'er Judah's sacred hills! "Glory to God!" the sounding skies Loud with their anthems ring: "Peace on the earth; good will to men, From heaven's eternal King." 4 To-day shall Christian tongues be mute, And Christian hearts be cold? O catch the anthem that from heaven O'er Judah's mountains rolled When sweetly burst from seraph-harps The high and solemn lay, "Glory to God; on earth be peace; Salvation comes to-day!" Used With Tune: CAROL

The Prince of Peace

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 356 hymnals Topics: Advent of Christ To Kingdom First Line: Light of those whose dreary dwelling Lyrics: 1 Light of those whose dreary dwelling Borders on the shades of death! Rise on us, thy love revealing, Dissipate the clouds beneath: Thou of heaven and earth Creator, In our deepest darkness rise,-- Scattering all the night of nature, Pouring day upon our eyes. 2 Still we wait for thine appearing; Life and joy thy beams impart, Chasing all our fears, and cheering Every poor benighted heart: Come and manifest thy favor To the ransomed, helpless race; Come, thou glorious God and Saviour! Come, and bring the gospel grace. 3 Save us, in thy great compassion, O thou mild, pacific Prince! Give the knowledge of salvation, Give the pardon of our sins; By thine all-sufficient merit, Every burdened soul release; Every weary, wandering spirit, Guide into thy perfect peace. Scripture: Habakkuk 2:14 Used With Tune: MIDDLETON
