The praises of redeeming love they sang, and heaven's whole orb with hallelujahs rang: God's highest glory was their anthem still, peace upon earth to people of good-will. 4 To Bethlehem straight the enlightened shepherds ran to see the wonder of our God made man, and found, with Joseph and the blessèd Maid, her son, the Saviour, in a manger laid; amazed, the wondrous story they proclaim, the first apostles of his infant fame. 5 Like Mary, let us ponder in our mind God's wondrous love in saving humankind; trace we the Babe, who has retrieved our loss, from the poor manger to the bitter cross; tread in his steps, assisted by his grace, until in heaven God's people take their place. 6 There may we hope, the angelic thrones among, to sing, redeemed, a glad triumphal song: he that was born upon this joyful day around us all his glory shall display; saved by his love, unceasing we shall sing eternal praise to heaven's almighty King.
