Unto shepherds lowly
Came the anthem from the skies;
Thoughts from Heaven holy
Dawned upon their dreaming eyes.
Glory! Glory! Glory!
Unto Love enthroned," they cry;
Light illumes the story
Trembling through the wondering sky.
"Peace shall bless good willing
Everywhere 'mong men on earth! "
Came the evangel thrilling
At the glad news of the Birth.
So the shining glory
Makes in every heart Love's morn;
Hearing Love's old story:
Unto you the Christ is born —
This day comes a Saviour!
Wise men mark the star appear;
Wise through meek behaviour, —
Who so wills may see and hear!
