The Voices, the Light

By Felicia Hemans

O LOVELY voices of the sky, That hymned the Saviour’s birth, Are ye not singing still on high, Ye that sang “Peace on earth”? To us yet speak the strains Wherewith, in days gone by, Ye blessed the Syrian swains, O voices of the sky!
O clear and shining light, whose beams That hour heaven’s glory shed Around the palms and o’er the streams, And on the shepherd’s head, Be near, through life and death, As in that holiest night Of hope, and joy, and faith, O clear and shining light!
O star which led to Him whose love Brought down man’s ransom free, Where art thou? ’Midst the hosts above May we still gaze on thee? In heaven thou art not set; Thy rays earth might not dim; Send them to guide us yet, O star which led to Him!
— Felicia Hemans.
