Rending the Sky
Douglas Blair 1951 (London)
Hark, we hear it
Through the ages
Comes the phrase
Of matchless worth.
Angels sang it
One sweet evening
Comes a Babe
For peace on Earth.
Mild He lays
His Glory by
Prince of Heaven
Rends the Sky
Humbly so
That men might see
New Hope for Eternity.
Born so quiet
We scarcely heard
God's delightful
Living Word.
