Hark, Hark! The Sweet, Sweet Chiming

Author: Marie J. Mason Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8006 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 Hark, hark! the sweet, sweet chiming, Of merry Christmas bells! Their low, melodious hymning A wondrous story tells! Beneath the stars that glisten O’er distant Syrian plains, The watching shepherds listen To clear, angelic strains. 2 To God the highest glory! While heavenly arches ring, Responsive to the story That Gabriel doth sing: The peace on earth whose blessing Shall bring good will to men; And in His name progressing, Shall fill the world again! 3 And where the dawn is streaking The eastern sky, afar, They see the glory breaking From off a newborn star! It shines above the manger Wherein a Babe is born, And for that infant Stranger Archangels hail the morn! 4 No kingly crown awaits Him, No robe of Tyrian dye, But heavenly choirs His praises Are sounding through the sky! For Bethlehem’s lowly manger The King of kings contains! And glory! Glory! Glory! The Lord of all He reigns! Languages: English Tune Title: STOWE

Composer of "STOWE" in The Cyber Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
