1 How sang the heavenly army By watching shepherds seen, When round them lay the silent night, On pastures wide and green!
2 The glory of their coming Made moon and starlight dim, And hearts were cheered forevermore That heard their blessèd hymn.
3 "Glory to God in Heaven Peace on the earth below, For He is born who will redeem This world from sin and woe."
4 Oh, Lord of our salvation We praise Thee night and morn, That we, too, in this darkened life Have heard that Christ is born! Source: The Cyber Hymnal #10468
