Oh, let your ears be opened till they hear!

Open your eyes, and mark with fearless sight

The throng of thanksgiving which fills this night:

Nor walks on heaven alone, but earth as well!

Sound in sweet tone, celestial Choirs, and tell!

Angels (appearing).

Glory to God In the Highest!
Who unto man Now comes nighest.
Peace be to earth! Goodwill to all!
Christ the new Birth Redeems man’s fall.

1st King.

Oh, ye blest sounds, be as the air we breathe!

2nd King.
