[Christ is born! and tuneful voices]

“And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.”—Luke ii. 18.

Christ is born! and tuneful voices
Sound along the purple skies;
And the world in light rejoices
As the Morning Star doth rise.
“Glory in the highest, Glory!”
Holy angels sing with joy;
And we catch the wondrous story,
“Glory be to God on high!”
