225b Christmas Anthem

Tune: James Denson, 1844

Words:

Meter: Irregular

Oh, how charming
Are the radiant bands of music!
Flying in the air.
The church triumphant gives the tone
While they surround the holy throne,
In glory, with celestial arts,
Angelic armies tune their harps,
And raptured play their parts:
Strike their notes at our Redeemer’s birth.
