Author: Paul Gerhardt Meter: 8.3.3.6 D Appears in 275 hymnals Lyrics: 1. All my heart this night rejoices, As I hear, Far and near, Sweetest angel voices: "Christ is born," their choirs are singing, Till the air Ev'rywhere Now with joy is ringing. 2. Come and banish all your sadness, One and all, Great and small, Come with songs of gladness; Love Him who with love is yearning; Hail the star That from far Bright with hope is burning. 3. Hither come, ye heavy-hearted, Who for sin, Deep within, Long and sore have smarted; For the poisoned wounds you're feeling Help is near, One is here Mighty for their healing. 4. Hither come, ye poor and wretched, Know His will Is to fill Ev'ry hand outstretched; Here are riches without measure, Here forget All regret, Fill your hearts with treasure. 5. Faithfully Thee, Lord, I'll cherish, Live to Thee, And with Thee Dying, shall not perish, But shall dwell with Thee forever, Far on high, In the joy That can alter never.

Calm on the Listening Ear of Night

Author: Edmund H. Sears Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 349 hymnals First Line: Calm on the list'ning ear of night Lyrics: 1 Calm on the list'ning ear of night Come heav'n's melodious strains, Where wild Judea stretches forth Her silver-mantled plains; Celestial choirs from courts above Shed sacred glories there; And angels, with their sparkling lyres, Make music on the air. 2 The answ'ring hills of Palestine Send back the glad reply, And greet from all their holy heights The Day-spring from on high: O'er the blue depths of Galilee There comes a holier calm, And Sharon waves in solemn praise Her silent groves of palm. 3 "Glory to God!" the lofty strain The realm of ether fills; How sweeps the song of solemn joy O'er Judah's sacred hills! "Glory to God!" the sounding skies Loud with their anthems ring: "Peace on the earth; good-will to men," From heav'n's eternal King. 4 This day shall Christian tongues be mute, And Christian hearts be cold? O catch the anthem that from heav'n O'er Judah's mountains rolled. When burst upon that list'ning night The high and solemn lay, "Glory to God; on earth be peace:" Salvation comes today!
