• Like Silver Lamps in a Distant Shrine

Like silver lamps in a distant shrine,
The stars are sparkling bright;
The bells of the city of God ring out,
For the Son of Mary is born tonight.
The gloom is past,
And the morn at last
Is coming with orient light.

The stars of heaven still shine as at first
They gleamed on this wonderful night;
The bells of the city of God peal out,
And the angels' song still rings in the height,
And love still turns
Where the Godhead burns,
Hid in flesh from fleshly sight.

Faith sees no longer the stable floor,
The pavement of sapphire is there,
The clear light of heaven streams out to the world,
And the angels of God are crowding the air,
And heaven and earth,
Through the spotless birth,
Are at peace on this night so fair.

                              –  W. C. Dix (1867)

This is the truth sent from above, The truth of God, the God of love,
Therefore don’t turn me from your door, But hearken all both rich and poor.
The first thing which I do relate Is that God did man create;
The next thing which to you I’ll tell – Woman was made with man to dwell.

Thus we were heirs to endless woes, Till God the Lord did interpose;
And so a promise soon did run That he would redeem us by his Son.
And at that season of the year Our blest Redeemer did appear;
He here did live, And here did preach, and many thousands he did teach.
Thus he in love to us behaved, To show us how we must be saved;
And if you want to know the way,
Be pleased to hear what he did say.

The Lord will come and not be slow; his footsteps cannot err;

Sweet peace and righteousness have kissed, and hand in hand is set.

Truth from the earth, like to a flower, shall bud and blossom fresh,
And justice from her heav’nly bower look down on mortal flesh.
Rise, God, judge thou the earth in might; this wicked earth redress;
For thou art he who shalt by right the nations all possess.

The nations all whom thou hast made shall come, and all shall frame
To bow them low before thee, Lord, and glorify thy name.
For great thou art, and wonders great by thy strong hand are done:
Thou in thy everlasting seat remainest God alone.
                              –  John Milton (1608-1674)

Sing then, ring then, tell the story of His glory,
Till His praises
Flood with light earth’s darkest places.
