GOD from on high hath heard;
Let sighs and sorrows cease;
The skies unfold, and lol
Descends the gift of peace.
Hark I on the midnight air
Celestial voices swell;
The hosts of heaven proclaim
God comes on earth to dwell.
0 Jesus, ever with us stay;
Make all our moments calm and bright;
Chase the dark night of sin away;
Shed o'er the world Thy holy light
