How Sang The Heavenly Army Lyrics

1. How sang the heav'nly army,
By watching shepherds seen,
When round them lay the silent night,
On pastures wide and green:
The glory of their coming
Made moon and starlight dim;
Their hearts were cheer'd for evermore,
Who heard that blessed hymn.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

2. "Glory to God in heaven,
Peace on the earth below,
For he is born who will redeem
This world from sin and woe."
O Lord of our salvation,
We praise Thee night and morn,
That we too in this darkened life
Have heard that Christ was born!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
