Field and forest, vale and mountain, Flowery meadow, flashing sea; Chanting bird and flowing fountain Call us to rejoice in Thee. 3 Thou art giving and forgiving, Ever blessing, ever blest, Well-spring of the joy of living, Ocean depth of happy rest. Thou our Father, Christ our Brother - All who live in love are Thine. Teach us how to love each other; Lift us to the joy divine. 4 Mortals, join the mighty chorus Which the morning stars began; Love divine is reigning o'er us, Leading us with mercy's hand. Ever singing, march we onward, Victors in the midst of strife. Joyful music leads us sunward In the triumph song of life.

It Came Upon the Midnight Clear

Author: Edmund H. Sears Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 878 hymnals Lyrics: 1 It came upon the midnight clear, That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth To touch their harps of gold; "Peace on the earth, good will to men, From heaven's all-gracious King!" The world in solemn stillness lay To hear the angels sing. 2 Still thro' the cloven skies they come With peaceful wings unfurled, And still their heav'nly music floats O'er all the weary world; Above its sad and lowly plains they bend on hov'ring wing, And ever o'er its Babel sounds The blessed angels sing. 3 And ye, beneath life's crushing load, Whose forms are bending low, Who toil along the climbing way With painful steps and slow, Look now! for glad and golden hours Come swiftly on the wing: O rest beside the weary road And hear the angels sing. 4 For lo! the days are hast'ning on, By prophets seen of old, When with the ever-circling years Shall come the time foretold, When peace shall over all the earth Its ancient splendors fling, And the whole world give back the song Which now the angels sing.
