- 1.
- Sweetest music softly stealing
- O'er our hearts in tuneful chime,
- Shall in joyous notes revealing,
- Swell the song of olden times.
- When the mourning star was beaming,
- Angels sang of peaceand love;
- Many souls awoke from dreaming,
- Hail'd the light from Heaven above.
- 2.
- Wake we now to joy and gladness,
- Christ the Saviour we have found:
- Banish from our hearts all sadness,
- And in deed of love abound.
- Now the fount of good unsealing,
- Let us all our souls upfull;
- And, in kindly Christian feeling,
- Breathe sweet peace andspeak good will.
- Gladsome sound we echo still,
- Peace on earth, to all good will.
