A Christmas Carmen

I.

Sound over all waters, reach out from all lands,

The chorus of voices, the clasping of hands;

Sing hymns that were sung by the stars of the morn,

Sing songs of the angels when Jesus was born!        With glad jubilations        Bring hope to the nations!

The dark night is ending and dawn has begun:

Rise, hope of the ages, arise like the sun,

All speech flow to music, all hearts beat as one!

II.

Sing the bridal of nations! with chorals of

Sing out the war-vulture and sing in the dove,

Till the hearts of the peoples keep time in accord,

And the voice of the world is the voice of the Lord!        Clasp hands of the nations        In strong gratulations:

The dark night is ending and dawn has begun;

Rise, hope of the ages, arise like the sun,

All speech flow to music, all hearts beat as one!

II.

Blow, bugles of battle, the marches of peace;

East, west, north, and south let the long quarrel

Sing the song of great joy that the angels began,

Sing of glory to God and of good-will to man!        Hark! joining in chorus        The heavens bend o’er us!

The dark night is ending and dawn has begun;

Rise, hope of the ages, arise like the sun,

All speech flow to music, all hearts beat as one!
