Author: Rev. G. W. Druce Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Shades of silent night dividing Lyrics: 1 Shades of silent night dividing, Bursts the glory from above, Down the stream of brightness gliding, Comes the messenger of love; To the shepherds lowly telling Of the Christ expected long; While the sudden anthem swelling Fills the glowing heav'n with song. 2 Heav'n will guard their flocks from danger, Scatter'd o'er the moist green sward, While the swains to Bethl’m’s manger, Hie to greet their new born Lord. Awe and love maternal blending Fill the Blessed Virgin's heart; While with rev'rent gesture bending, Kneel these humble men apart. 3 Not alone do men unlearned, Bow the Holy Child before; Sages who for truth long yearned, Heav'n's true Sun at length adore. So our songs proclaim a story Kings of old have longed to know, Tell of Christ, the Prince of Glory, Born this night for high and low. Used With Tune: [Shades of silent night dividing]

Edwin H. Nevin

1814 - 1889 Person Name: E. H. Nevin Author of "Always With Us" in Heaven's Echo Nevin, Edwin Henry, D.D., son of Major David Nevin, was born at Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, May 9, 1814.

Dr. Nevin is the author of several hymns, the more important of which are:— 1. Always with me [us], always with [us] me. Jesus always present. 2. Come up hither, come away. Invitation Heavenward. 3. Happy, Saviour, would I be. Trust. This is given in the Lyra Sacra Americana as "Saviour! happy should I be." This change was made by the editor "with the consent and approbation of the author." 4. 0 heaven, sweet heaven. Heaven. Written and published in 1862 after the death of a beloved son, which made heaven nearer and dearer from the conviction that now a member of his family was one of its inhabitants" (Schaff’s Christ in Song, 1870, p. 539). 5. Live on the field of battle. Duty. Appeared in the Baptist Devotional Hymn Book, 1864. 6. I have read of a world of beauty. Heaven. 7. Mount up on high! as if on eagle's wings. Divine Aspirations.

Bird, M.A.] --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)
