"In the original edition, Song 46 has no specific tune indication. Hitherto it has been customary to sing the words of the verses of Song 46 with those of the refrain of Song 47 (sic!) to an altered version of Gibbons' music for Song 47, whereas in fact Wither's complete (unadulterated) text for Song 46 fits Gibbons' music for Songs 47 (for the verses) and 34 (for the choruses) like a glove."

1. As on the Night before this happie Morne, A blessed Angell unto Shepheards told, Where (in a Stable) he was poorely borne, Whom, nor the earth nor Heav’n of heav’ns can hold Through Bethlem rung This newes at their returne; Yea, Angells sung, That God with us was born: And they made mirth, because we should not mourne. ''Chorus.'' Their Angells-Caroll sing wee then; To God on high all glory bee, For Peace on earth bestoweth hee, And showeth Favour unto men. 2. This favour Christ vouchsafed for our sake, To buy us Thrones, hee in a Manger lay. Our weaknes tooke, that we his strength might take, And was disrob’d, that hee might us aray, Our flesh hee wore, Our Sinne to weare away. Our Curse hee bore, That wee escape it may, And wept for us, that wee might sing for aye. ''Chorus.'' With Angells therfore, sing agen; To God on high all glory bee; For Peace on Earth bestoweth hee: And showeth Favour unto Men.
