HEN Bethlehem's shepherds through the night,
Watch'd o'er their flocks by starry light;
Lo! swift to every startled eye,
New streams of glory gild the sky.
On wheels of light, on wings of flame, The glorious hosts of Zion came; High heav'n with songs of triumph rung, While thus they struck their harps and sung:
O Zion! lift thy raptur'd eye,
The long expected hour is uigh ;
Thy King is born, thy Saviour reigns: Praise him aloud in endless strains.
See, mercy from her golden urn, Pours a rich stream to them that mourn; Behold she binds, with tender care, The bleeding bosom of despair.
He comes to cheer the trembling heart, Bids satan and his host depart ; Again the Day-star shines on high, And man redeem'd shall never die.
