The angel of the Lord came down, and glory shone around.
"Fear not," said he, for mighty dread had seized
their troubled mind;
"Glad tidings of great joy I bring to you and all
mankind."
"To you, in David's town this day, is born of David's
line
The Savior who is Christ the Lord, and this shall be the
sign:
The heavenly Babe you there shall find to human view
displayed,
All meanly wrapped in swathing bands, and in a manger
laid."
Thus spake the seraph, and forthwith appeared a shining
throng
Of angels praising God, who thus addressed their joyful
song:
"All glory be to God on high and on the earth be peace.
Goodwill henceforth from heaven to men begin and never
cease."
