Came to hear this news of joy, Peace on earth, good-will to men; Glory be to God on high, Christ the Lord is born—Amen. 3 Bethlehem’s star is still in sight, We rejoice to see its rays: Angels sing again tonight: We repeat the song of praise— Hallelujah! shout for joy! Peace on earth, good-will to men; Glory be to God on high, Christ the Lord is born—Amen. 4 Gates of pearl are open wide, Christ the Lord has passed within, He on earth for sinners died, That they, too, might enter in. Hear! oh, hear the cry of joy, Peace on earth, good-will to men; Glory be to God on high, Christ the Lord is born—Amen. 5 Songs of angels, starry light, Glad evangels from above, Lead us all, this Christmas night, Toward the shining gates above, Whence first came this song of joy, Peace on earth, good-will to men; Glory be to God on high, Christ the Lord is born–Amen.

See the birds, how, pair by pair, Swift they cleave the yielding air; Thunder, lightning, storm, and wind God doth at his will unbind. 3 See the billows tumbling o'er, Chafing with incessant roar; Hear them as thy sink and swell Loud their Maker's praises tell.
