...Like Ja­cob in his Be­thel rest,

They watch my pil­low—I am blest,...

...O glo­ri­ous thought that no more I shall roam!

...start

Sweetly sing, glad­ly sing;...

...start

Sweetly sing, glad­ly sing;...

...And the saved are free from care,

We will join the glad unit­ed band,...

...start

Hark the an­gels’ song,...

...Yet still the pear­ly gate I see,

To wel­come me, to wel­come me,...

...start

As around me now they glide!...

...Every girl and ev­ery boy,

On the Christ­mas morn­ing,...

...When my work on earth is end­ed,

...When our sins are borne away?

Glory be to God on high!...

...Gentle shep­herd, gen­tle shep­herd,

In the ear­ly Christ­mas morn....

...That glo­ri­ous song of old,

To touch their harps of gold;...

...We sought for His pre­sence thro’ sor­row’s dark way,

We’re hap­py in Je­sus, we’re hap­py to­day,...

...start

In the courts of end­less day,...

...Every girl and ev­ery boy,

On the Christ­mas mor­ning....

...start

In the courts of end­less day,...

...In the lone­ly mid­night on the win­try hill,

Listen, O ye wea­ry, to the an­gels’ song,...
