When Christ Was Born of Mary Free

When Christ was born of Ma­ry free

In Beth­le­hem that fair ci­ty

Angels sang there with mirth and glee

In ex­cel­sis glo­ria

In ex­cel­sis glo­ria

In ex­cel­sis glo­ria

In ex­cel­sis glo­ria

In ex­cel­sis glo­ria.

Herdsmen be­held these an­gels bright

To them ap­pear­ing with great light

Who said God’s Son is born to­night

The King is come to save man­kind

As in Scrip­ture truths we find

Therefore this song we have in mind

Then

dear Lord

for Thy great grace

Grant us in bliss to see Thy face

That we may sing to Thy so­lace
