From the Deep Star-Laden Sky

From the deep star-lad­en sky

Fell the in­cense down the air;

Golden cen­sers swing­ing high

To the sound of mu­sic rare.

Glory to God! Glo­ry to God!

Glory to God

and good will to men!

Stood the shep­herds in the night

Listening spell­bound to the song

That with more than earth­ly might

Rolled the hap­py vales along.

So with peace

good will on earth

Comes the holy Christ­mas tide

Blessèd day of Je­sus’ birth

Spread its glo­ries far and wide.
