ALFRED G. WATHALL 120 FESTGESANG 8s. 6s. D. Brightly 254 54 mf 1. Long years ago o'er Bethlehem's hills Was seen a wondrous thing; As shepherds watched their sleeping flocks They heard the angels sing. The anthem rolled among the clouds When earth was hushed and still; Its notes proclaimed sweet peace on earth, To all mankind good will."Glory to God in the high-est," The an-gels' song resounds, "Glo-ry to God in the high est!"

(Second Tune) KARL P. HARRINGTON Andante con moto 112 Copyright, 1905, by Eaton & Mains 2 There's a tumult of joy Ay! the star rains its fire while the beautiful sing, 3 In the light of that star Lie the ages impearled; Has swept over the world. Every hearth is aflame, and the beautiful sing 4 We rejoice in the light, And we echo the song That comes down through the night From the heavenly throng. Ay! we shout to the lovely evangel they bring, And we greet in his cradle our Saviour and King! Copyright, 1879, 1881, by Charles Scribner's Sons JOSIAH G. HOLLAND 2 Shepherds, in the field abiding, 3 Sages, leave your contemplations, Come and worship, Worship Christ, the newborn King. 4 Saints, before the altar bending, Worship Christ, the newborn King. 5 Sinners, wrung with true repentance, Doomed for guilt to endless pains, Justice now revokes the sentence, Mercy calls you, break your chains: Come and worship, Worship Christ, the newborn King. |
