¶Liedtext

O long and darksome was the night That in dull watches wore away, With moon and stars alone to light A world bewildering and astray. While oft thick shade and murky cloud Pale moon and stars did deep enshroud; And nations looked, and hoped in vain That over earth, of guilt and sorrow, Of sin and hate, the sad domain. Might dawn a bright and cheerful morrow, When Thou, O Christ! of flesh wast born, To greet Thee in Thy humble bed, Though earth Thy lowliness should scorn, Celestial bands with rapture sped; At midnight on the silent air Thy birth their floating strains declare: The shepherds catch the thrilling lay, In harmony their senses steeping; Then to Thy manger take their way, And gaze on Thee, an infant sleeping!
