1. Calm on the list’ning ear of night come heav’n’s melodious strains,

where wild Judea stretches far her silvermantled plains.

celestial choirs from courts above shed sacred glories there.

and angels with their tuneful lyres make music on the air.

2. The 2. The answering hills of Palestine send back the glad reply,

and greet from all their holy heights the Dayspring from on high,

while o’er the deep, blue Galilee there comes a holier calm, 

and Sharon waves, in solemn praise, her silent groves of palm.

3. Glory to God! the lofty strain the realms of ether fills.  

How sweeps the song of solemn joy o’er Judah’s sacred hills!

Glory to God! the sounding skies loud with their anthems ring,

of peace on earth, good will to men, from heav’n’s eternal King!
