198 OUR CHILDREN'S SACRED SONGS. |

CALM ON THE LISTENING EAE OF NIGHT. Edmund Seaes.
Calm on the listening ear of night Came heaven's melodious strains, |
The joyous hills of Palestine
Send back the glad reply, And greet, from all their holy heights,
The Day-spring from on high.
O'er the blue depths of Galilee There comes a holier calm; |
||
|
|||
Where wild Judea stretches far Her silver-mantled plains.
Celestial choirs from courts above
Shed sacred glories there; And angels, with their sparkling lyres,
Make music on the air. |
And Sharon waves, in solemn praise, Her silent groves of palm.
" Glory to God !" the sounding skies Loud with their anthems ring;
" Peace on the earth, good-will to men, From heaven's eternal King!" |
