Hear the Angels Sing
"God sent the angels from heaven down to earth to proclaim the message of His sons birth"
*It came upon the midnight clear
That glorious song of old
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of god
Peace on the earth, good will to men
From heavens all gracious king
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing
"The angels proclaimed - Come and worship, Christ the newborn King!"
*Angels from the realms of glory
Wing your flight oer all the earth
You who sang creations story
Now proclaim Messiahs birth
Come and worship, come and worship
Worship Christ the newborn King
"The angels spread Gods message all around; In the country and in the town. The sight of the angels sent fear in some of the people"
*While shepherds watched their flocks by night
All seated on the ground
The angel of the Lord came down
And glory shown around, and glory shown around
"The angels and all of the people in the area followed a bright star. It shown its great light upon a stable. There they found Mary, Joseph and the newborn King"
*Star is shining, in the night sky
Lighting up the stable walls
Babys lying in a manger
Where His beds a cattle stall
Marys rocking, Josephs walking
Angels singing, Bells are ringing
For the babe, was born for all.
"You could hear the angels beautiful voices all over the land. Proclaiming songs about His birth"
*Still through the cloven skies they come
With peaceful wings unfurled
And still their heavnly music floats
Oer all the weary world
Peace on the earth good will to men
From heavens all gracious King
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing.
