Over hills and over plains
Over hills and over plains
Ring a thousand bells,
Each the same great truth proclaims,
Each the story tells;
Old, old story, ever new,
Wond’rous story, ever true.
Chorus:
Old, old story, ever new.
Wond’rous story, ever true.
Shepherds watching once by night,
Watching long ago,
Heard a Seraph choir bright
Murmur soft and low
"Goodwill and love, love and goodwill."
Then Angels spoke, and all was still, Chorus
Very humbly, in a manger
Holy stars in sight
Lowly lies a little stranger,
Messenger of light.
He, the promised of old,
He, the Saviour long foretold. Chorus
Haste ye, shepherds, see the wonder,
Fear not mock or scorn;
Mark how in proud David’s city
Christ your Lord is born.
His great mission ne’er shall cease
Till the world be filled with peace. Chorus
Sound the truth o’er all the nations,
Wide your joy-bells fling;
Christ has live our great exemplar,
Brother, Lord, and King.
Sound Christmas, ye seem to say,
"God’s peace be unto all this day." Chorus
Over hills and over plains
