1.It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old,
from angels bending near the earth to touch their harps of gold:
“Peace on the earth, good will to men, from heaven’s all-gracious King.”
The world in solemn stillness lay, to hear the angels sing.
2.Still through the cloven skies they come with peaceful wings unfurled,
and still their heavenly music floats o’er all the weary world;
above its sad and lowly plains, they bend on hovering wing,
and ever o’er its Babel sounds the blessed angels sing.
3.For lo! the days are hastening on, by prophet long foretold,
when with the ever-circling years come round the age of gold
when peace shall over all the earth its ancient splendors fling,
and all the world send back the song which now the angels sing.
It Is Glory Just to Walk with Him
It is glory just to walk with Him whose blood has ransomed me
It is rapture for my soul each day
It is joy divine to feel Him near where’er my path may be
Bless the Lord it’s glory all the way
Chorus:
It is glory just to walk with Him
It is glory just to walk with Him
He will guide my steps aright
Through the vale and o’er the height
It is glory just to walk with Him
It is glory when the shadows fall to know that He is near
Oh what joy to simply trust and pray
It is glory to abide in Him when skies above are clear
Yes with Him it’s glory all the way
‘Twill be glory when I walk with Him on Heaven’s golden shore
Never from His side again to stray
‘Twill be glory wondrous glory with the Saviour evermore
Everlasting glory all the way
I’ve Cast Heavy Burdens Down
I’ve cast my heavy burdens down
on Canaan’s happy shore,
I’m living where
the healing waters flow;
I’ll wander in the wilderness
of doubt and sin no more;
I’m living where
the healing waters flow.
Chorus
Living on the shore,
I’m living on the shore,
I’m living where
the healing waters flow;
Living on the shore,
I’m living on the shore,
I’m living where
the healing waters flow.
With Israel’s trusting children
I’m rejoicing on my way,
I’m living where
the healing waters flow;
The cloudy fiery pillar
is my guiding light today;
I’m living where
the healing waters flow.
My hung’ring soul is satisfied
with manna from above,
I’m living where
the healing waters flow;
No more I thirst, the rock I’ve found,
that fount of endless love;
I’m living where
the healing waters flow.
I’m singing “Hallelujah,”
safely anchored in my soul,
I’m living where
the healing waters flow;
I’m resting on His promises;
the blood has made me whole;
I’m living where
the healing waters flow.
