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.
