Lyics

Calm on the listening ear of night
Come heav'n's melodious strains,
Where wild Judea stretches far
Her silver-mantled plains.


The answering hills of Palestine
Send back the glad reply;
And greet, from all their holy heights,
The Dayspring from on high.


"Glory to God!" the sounding skies
Loud with their anthems ring;
"Peace to earth, good will to men, 
From heav'n's Eternal King!"
