O'er The Mountains Lyrics

1. Swelling o'er the mountain sounds the Christmas bell,
Stealing down the valley, its joyful news to tell;
Now happy faces greet us,
New joys come forth to meet us;
Good will and peace to all, to all, this happy Christmas Day!

2. In their tents abiding, shepherds on the plain,
Heard the angel-voices sing out the glad [Refrain],
"To God on high be glory,
To men the joyful story,
Good will and peace to all, this happy Christmas Day!"

3. O'er the darkness a rising shines the Royal Star,
Leading to its brightness the people from afar;
The kings of earth adore Him
And nations bow before Him
Who brings good will and peace on happy Christmas Day!

4. Maidens, men, and children - sage and sinner too -
Pardon, peace, and gladness, the Saviour brings to you;
The angels' song repeating,
We send the joyous greeting,
Good will and peace to all, this happy Christmas Day!
