The Angel's Message

Representative Text

1 In the calm of that long ago night,
Far away on the Bethlehem hills,
There was seen a most wonderful light,
By the shepherds who faithful watch kept.

2 And the voice of an angel they heard,
Saying "Fear not, good tidings I bring;
To all people proclaim the glad word,
That a Savior is born, Christ the Lord."

3 Then the heavens with glad anthems rang;
"Glory, glory to God," the refrain;
As the angel and heav’nly host sang,
"On earth peace, and good will unto men."
