Come swiftly on the wing
O rest beside the weary road
And hear the angels sing

Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight

The wondrous gift is given
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of his heaven

Where meek souls will receive him, still
The dear Christ enters in

Cast out our sin and enter in
Be born in us today
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell
