O vi­sion of an­gels, O vi­sion of an­gels in light!
Happy the coun­try, where the sheep,
And flocks, and herds, are Mine;
Asleep on the hay.

His throne is high­er than the high­est,

Where men se­cure­ly work or sleep,
I claim a right di­vine.
The Ba­by awakes,
Yet God of cre­ation in blest in­car­na­tion,
What Him to such a lot has led?
