129 - As it Fell Upon a Night

As it fell upon a night
In the winter weather,
Angels bright in starry height
Began to sing together.
2
Shepherds sleeping on the plain
Woke to see the glory,
All amazed they stood and gazed
And heard the angels’ story.
3
Unto you a child is born
In a manger lowly
Humble, He yet born to be
The King of Love most holy.
4
Happy angels from a far,
Cease your singing never!
In excelsis gloria!
Forever and forever.
