|
<p>Long years ago o’er Bethlehem’s hills<br>
|
|
Was seen a wondrous thing;<br>
|
|
As shepherds watched the sleeping flocks<br>
|
|
They heard the angels sing.<br>
|
|
The anthem rolled among the clouds<br>
|
|
When earth was hushed and still;<br>
|
|
Its notes proclaimed sweet peace on earth,<br>
|
|
To all mankind good will.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">“Glory to God in the highest,”<br>
|
|
The angels’ song resounds,<br>
|
|
“Glory to God in the highest!”</p>
|
|
<p>That song is sung by rich and poor,<br>
|
|
Where’er the Christ is known;<br>
|
|
’Tis sung in words, and sung in deeds,<br>
|
|
Which bind all hearts in one.<br>
|
|
Angels are still the choristers,<br>
|
|
But we the shepherds are,<br>
|
|
To bear the message which they bring,<br>
|
|
To those both near and far:</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
