Angel's Proclamation, The

Hark! the mighty tones sublime,

Trumpet tongues of olden time-

Breathing on the silent air,

Shouting glory everywhere!

Hark! again their joyful sound

Rings afar, the earth around;

While a vast, adoring throng

Catch the strain and join the song.

Refrain

Unto us a Child is giv'n;

Open now the gates of Heav'n;

Eden lost, to man restored,

Thro' the birth of Christ the Lord.

Mourning captive, cease thy tears;

Lo! the promised day appears,

Thro' the misty veil of night,

Bursting in a flood of light;

Oh, what wondrous things are done

By the Father, thro' the Son!

Oh, the smile of pard'ning grace,

Beaming in the Savior's face.

Refrain

Now with healing in her wings,

Hark! a white robed angel sings:

"Mortals, from the realms above

I have borne my harp of love;

Hallelujah! sing with me;

Hail your greatest jubilee!

Sing, in purest, sweetest lays,

On this holy day of days."

Refrain
