No more sadness now, nor fasting
Now we put our grief away
God came down, the Everlasting
Taking human flesh to-day
God came down on earth a stranger
Working out His mighty plan
God was cradled in a manger
Very God and very man
There were shepherds once abiding
In the field to watch by night
And they saw the clouds dividing
And the sky above was bright
And a glory shone around them
On the grass as they wore laid
And a holy Angel found them
And their hearts were sore afraid
"Fear ye not," he said, "for cheerful
Are the tidings that I bring
Unto you, so weak and fearful
Christ is born, the Lord and King"
As the Angel told the story
Of the Savior's lowly birth,
Multitudes were singing "Glory
Be to God, and peace on earth"
Angel choir sing hallelujah
God's redeeming love proclaim
Let Thy Church, in every nation
Sing the glory of Thy Name
Angel choir sing hallelujah
God's redeeming love proclaim
Let Thy Church, in every nation
Sing the glory of Thy Name
Sing the glory of Thy Name
