Sweet Alleluia to the King of Kings!
The angel hovering o’er that forest scene,
Bears up the tidings on exulting wing,
And soon from the high pinnacles of bliss,
The Seraph harps in sweetness make response,
Alleluia!
The thrilling song in gentle murmuring falls
Upon the anxious ear, like music heard
On the calm ocean at the midnight hour;
Speaks to the broken heart in whispers sweet,
