1. The shepherds were watching
Their flocks in the night,
When pearly wings scattered
The darkness with light.
Refrain
O angels of glory,
Come, sing once again,
That wonderful story,
Good will unto men.
O angels of glory,
Come since once again,
That wonderful story,
Good will unto men.
2. We, too, with the angels
Would sing of His love,
Who for our salvation
Came down from above. Refrain
3. We, too, with the Magi,
Would rest at His feet,
Our costliest treasures
Most fair and most meet. Refrain
4. O, hear us, dear Saviour,
O grant us Thy grace,
And shed on our darkness
The light of Thy face. Refrain
