Christmas - 1943 - E. Humperdinck

James Pitt-Payne and Ian Cousins - 15 Dec 2001

Angel voices softly singing
through the silent, Holy night
Tidings of great joy are bringing
from the starry azure height.
And each heart is filled with gladness
at the message which they bring,
'Christ is born, forget all sadness,
come and hail the New Born King!'
Now behold the heavn'ly splendor
as the stars in glory shine.
While Angelic hosts are singing
anthems to the Babe divine.
Bright each home with joy is glowing,
lighted by the love within;
And each child of God rejoices
for the Christ who frees from sin.
Softly messengers of glory
wing their flight from heav'n to earth,
Bearing witness of the story
of the Holy Christ Child's birth.
Alleluia, Alleluia,
peace on earth, good will to men!
Alleluia, Alleluia
Worship Christ the New Born King.
Alleluia, Alleluia,
Christ is born in Bethlehem!
Alleluia, Alleluia,
Alleluia, Amen.
