First Line: The wilderness shall rejoice
Last Line: Be a joyful christmas psalm.
Subject(s): Christmas; Nativity, The


THE wilderness shall rejoice,
And the wintry waste shall sing,
At the wakening herald voice
Of the coming of the King.
So the sparkling Christmas snow
Is dearer than summer light;
For He whom we love came down below
In the hush of a Christmas night.
May thy Christmas morning break
Holy and bright and calm;
And may all thy life for His dear sake
Be a joyful Christmas psalm.
