EN 3701 Music of the Angels

Luke.2.13

Versi Version 1

The evergreen branches are waving around us,

And sweetly our carols in harmony ring,

While here we are gathered to welcome with rapture

The birth of our Savior, Redeemer, and King.

Hark! the music of the angels

Floating onward still we hear;

Blessed music, sweetest chorus

Ever sung to mortal ear.

How graciously favored the shepherds of Judah,

Who guarded their flocks on that wonderful morn,

When legions descended, proclaiming the tidings

That Jesus, the promised Redeemer, was born.

How humble His birthplace, how lowly His cradle,

O tender compassion, O infinite love!

The Son of the Highest our nature assuming

That we might inherit the mansions above.

The sweet chiming bells with our carols are blending,

A glad, merry Christmas they joyfully ring.

While here we are gathered to welcome with rapture

The birth of our Savior, Redeemer, and King.
