lutheranhymnsHow's the rhyme scheme?
Pretty dense--it's lines of 8 syllables, but they mostly rhyme internally. (delight/unite, etc.) That does mean there's significant repetition (free/he, enemy/see, be/victory, misery/free; jubilation/salvation/nation, adoration/nation/consolation).
I also like the use of "speed" as a verb, not "break the speed limit" but "spread quickly."
Merry Christmas Eve! The Cambridge service of Lessons and Carols was today (nerds), and yes, they did sing the text of "Angels from the Realms of Glory" to the tune I associate with "Angels We Have Heard on High"!
