God incarnate, King of bliss, | |||

Jesus and His virgin birth, | |||
Heavenly bells the while a-ringing | |||
"Peace, good will to men on earth." | |||

George Ratcliffe Woodward (1848-1934):
Shepherds in the field abiding, Tell us when the seraph bright Greeted you with wondrous tiding, What you saw and heard that night.
Refrain: Gloria in excelsis Deo, in excelsis gloria.
We beheld--it is no fable-- God incarnate, King of bliss, Swathed and cradled in a stable, And the angel strain was this:
Choristers on high were singing Jesus and His virgin birth, Heavenly bells the while a-ringing "Peace, good will to men on earth."
