Representative Text

1 Angels from the realms of glory
Unto Bethlehem they came
To proclaim the birth of Jesus,
Born for sinners to redeem.

Refrain:
Glory in the highest, glory!
Peace on earth, good will to men;
Listen to the wondrous story,
Christ is born in Bethlehem!

2 Shepherds heard the angel story
While they watched their flocks by night,
And the glory of Jehovah
Shone around in radiant light. [Refrain]

3 And the angel said unto them,
Fear not, for behold I bring
Unto you great joy and tidings
Of a Savior, Priest and King. [Refrain]
