	Text Sound Over All Waters “A Christmas Carmen” by John Greenleaf Whittier Sound over all waters, reach out from all lands The chorus of voices, the clasping of hands; Sing hymns that were sung by the stars of the morn, Sing songs of the angels when Jesus was born; With glad jubilations bring hope to the nations: The dark night is ending and dawn has begun. Arise, hope of the ages, arise like the sun. All speech flows to music, all hearts beat as one. The dark night is ending, and dawn has begun. Blow, bugles of battle, the marches of peace, East, west, north and south, let the long quarrels cease; Sing the song of great joy that the angels began, Sing of glory to God, and of good will to man! Joining in chorus, the heavens bend o’er us:
