Whose voice did first inspire the eastern lay, Amid the starry grandeur of the night? When choral angels hailed the rising day That saw a Saviour born, the world's great light, Whose voice? It was religion's voice; her theme divine To shepherds, then to bright Cecilia giv'n, In flowing chords, with rapture to refine The heart of man and raise the soul to heav'n.
