A sound of angels from afar
Fills all the quiet air,
And Ah! how full of gladness are
The tidings that they bear.
The shepherds run to Bethlem town
To see a wondrous sight.
The Lord of Lords to earth come down
Is born for men tonight,
Yeah, Christ is born, our heav’nly king,
Salvation now is nigh,
So all mankind with angels sing
Glory to God on high.
