80. O Night of Glory

1 O night of glory, when the angels sang,
When all the heav’ns with loud hosannas rang;
When with the flaming hosts the skies were bright,
And with their beams all the earth was light.
O night of glory, when the angels sang,
When all the heav’ns with loud hosannas rang;
When with the flaming hosts the skies were bright,
And with their beams all the earth was light.

Chorus:
Angels bright the chorus sang,
And all the heav’ns with loud hosannas rang;
Glad tidings to all people do thy bring
A Saviour’s born, glory to our King.

2 Sing on, ye angels, sound the tidings far,
Shine on in beauty, O thou guiding star;
Till nations yet unborn shall sing His praise,
And to their King loud hosannas raise.
Sing on, ye angels, sound the tidings far,
Shine on in beauty, O thou guiding star;
Till nations yet unborn shall sing His praise,
And to their King loud hosannas raise. [Chorus]
