With instruments and pious breath Attune each measured word. 2. This is the hallow'd morn, When on our fallen race In full effulgence rose the dawn Of new-born joy and grace. 3. Glory to God on high On this renowned night. Was thundered forth in harmony By Angel legions bright. 4. Amazing splendours shone -- A strange unwonted sight -- Upon the shepherds biding lone Under the veil of might. 5. Sudden, while peacefully Then watched their shepfolds still, Good tidings wafted from on high Their ears attentive fill. 6. Who was before all time Is born of purest Maid; Glory to God in heights sublime, Peace comes the world to aid. 7. E'en thus the Choir on high Sing praises jubilant, From pole to pole their voices fly, Heaven echoes to their chant. 8. Let all with thrilling voice Give back the glorious lay, Let the wide universe rejoice, That God is born this day. 9. Burst are the iron chains Which held the world in thrall; The cruel foe no longer reigns, Peace is restored to all. 10. For lo! an order new Doth the glad world adorn; Let all things render praises due Unto the Virgin-Born. 11. He all upholds alone, He all alone did frame; May He Who hath such pity shone Blot out our sin and shame. Browse Carols: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z # |
