1. Blessed night, when Beth'lem's plain
Echo'd with the joyful strain,
"Peace has come to earth again."
Alleluia!
2. Blessed hills that heard the song
Of the glorious angel throne
Swelling all your slopes along
Alleluia!
3. Happy shepherds, on whose ear,
Fell the tidings glad and clear,
"God to man is drawing near."
Alleluia!
4. Thus revealed to shepherds' eyes,
Hidden from the great and wise,
Entering earth in lowly guise--
Alleluia!
5. Entering by the narrow door,
Laid upon this rocky floor,
Placed in yonder manger poor.
Alleluia!
6. We adore Thee as our King,
And to Thee our song we sing
Our best offering to Thee bring.
Alleluia!
7. Mighty King of Righteousness,
King of Glory, King of Peace,
Never shall Thy Kingdom cease!
Alleluia!
