Whom the shepherds came quickly to see;
And the praises of God as they went on their way,
Filled the hearts of the worshippers three.
Yes, happy they are who to angel refrain
Shall awaken ’mid glory divine,
And shall come to the manger as they of the plain
While the light from above round them shine.
Yes, glad would I go to old Bethlehem town,
Thus nearer my Jesus to be,
And joyfully carol, as angels come down,
