The star that now is shining In skies so blue and bright, Shone ages since on shepherds Who watched their flocks by night. When lo! a white-winged angel The watchers stood before, And told how Christ was born on earth, For mortals to adore. And suddenly in the Heavens Appeared an angel band (The while in reverent wonder The Syrian shepherds stand.) And all the bright host chanted Words that will never cease. Glory to God in the Highest, On earth goodwill and peace. Hark! hark, my soul! Angelic songs are swelling O’er earth’s green fields and ocean’s wave-beat shore: How sweet the truth those blessed strains are telling Of that new life when sin shall be no more. Angels of Jesus, Angels of light, Singing to welcome the pilgrims of the night. Beside a humble manger Was the maiden mother mild, And in her arm her Son divine, A new-born Infant, smiled. The star that shone in Bethlehem Shines still and shall not cease, And still we hear the tidings Of Glory and Peace. Angels, sing on, your faithful watches keeping, Sing us sweet fragments of the songs above, Till morning’s joy shall end the night of weeping, And life’s long shadows break in cloudless love. Angels of Jesus, Angels of light, Singing to welcome the pilgrims of the night.
