The Angel’s Message (Earle)

In the calm of that long ago night

Far away on the Beth­le­hem hills

There was seen a most won­der­ful light

By the shep­herds who faith­ful watch kept.

And the voice of an an­gel they heard

Saying Fear not

good tid­ings I bring;

To all peo­ple pro­claim the glad word

That a Sav­ior is born

Christ the Lord.

Then the heav­ens with glad an­thems rang;

Glory

glo­ry to God

the re­frain;

As the an­gel and heav’n­ly host sang

On earth peace

and good will un­to men.
