Christmas Anthem 225b

Tune: James Denson, 1844
Alto: Wilson Marion Cooper, 1902
Meter: Irregular
O how charming
Are the radiant bands of music,
Flying in the air.
The church triumphant gives the tone,
While they surround the holy throne,
In glory with celestial arts,
Angelic armies tune their harps,
And raptur’d seraphs play their parts;
Strike their notes at our Redeemer's birth.
