Representative Text

Whilst Angels to the World Proclaim:
The Birth of Christ our King;
To magnify his sacred Name
We'll joyful Anthems sing
We'll joyful Anthems sing

The watchful Shepherds seiz'd with Fear
At radiant Light divine;
when they the happy tidings here
their lalelujahs join
their allelujays hoin
