O'er The Hills In Far Judea

O'er the hills in far Judea,

Rang the first glad Christmas song;

'Twas a grand angelic chorus,

Shepherds saw the shining throng.

Glory streamed across the heavens,

Music echoed thro' the air;

Christ the Morning Star hath risen!

Tell the tidings everywhere.

Refrain

Angels adore Him,

Hark! We seem to hear

Echoes from Heaven,

Angel echoes clear.

Jesus the mighty

Came to earth to bring

Priceless redemption

Christ our Prophet, Priest and King!

Tell again the sweet old story,

Of the shepherds on the hill,

When the angels from the glory

Sang while all the world was still.

Tell again the story wondrous,

Of the Infant in the stall,

Of the guiding star above Him,

Shining o'er the Lord of all.

Refrain

Angels wondered at His coming,

To this scene of earthly night,

From the fadeless day in glory,

From His home so wondrous bright;

Angels looked in deep amazement,

At the manger of His birth,

Understanding not His purpose,

To redeem this sinful earth.

Refrain
