Then entered in those wise men three, Fell reverently upon their knee, And offered there in his presence Their gold and myrrh and frankincense. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the kind of Israel.

It came upon the midnight clear,That glorious song of old,

From angels bending near the earth,To touch their harps of gold:

"Peace on the earth, goodwill to menFrom heavens all gracious King!"The world in solemn stillness lay

To hear the angels sing.

INDEX

It Came Upon A Midnight Clear (1/4)

Still through the cloven skies they come,With peaceful wings unfurled;

And still their heavenly music floatsO'er all the weary world:

Above its sad and lowly plainsThey bend on hovering wing,

And ever o'er its Babel soundsThe blessed angels sing.

INDEX


O ye beneath life's crushing load,Whose forms are bending low,

Who toil along the climbing wayWith painful steps and slow;

Look now, for glad and golden hoursCome swiftly on the wing;

Oh rest beside the weary roadAnd hear the angels sing.

INDEX


For lo! the days are hastening on,By prophets seen of old,

When with the ever-circling yearsShall come the time foretold,

When the new heaven and earth shall ownThe Prince of Peace, their King,

And the whole world send back the songWhich now the angels sing.

INDEX


While shepherds watched their flocks by night,All seated on the ground,The angel of the Lord came down,And glory shone around,And glory shone around.

INDEX

While Shepherds Watched Their Flock by Night (1/3)

“To you, in David’s town, this dayIs born of David’s lineA Savior, who is Christ the Lord,And this shall be the sign,And this shall be the sign.

“The heavenly Babe you there shall findTo human view displayed,All meanly wrapped in swathing bands,And in a manger laid,And in a manger laid.”

INDEX


Thus spake the seraph and forthwithAppeared a shining throngOf angels praising God on high,Who thus addressed their song,Who thus addressed their song:

“All glory be to God on high,And to the Earth be peace;Good will henceforth from Heaven to menBegin and never cease,Begin and never cease!”
