w:In night-ly still-ness comes a voice that rings:

w:Christ is born to day.'
W:In nightly stillness comes a voice that rings:
W:"Rise now ye shepherds, greet the King of Kings!
W:Leave the flocks behind a-feeding,
W:On to Bethlem go a-speeding,
W:Christ is born today."

W:Swiftly they went and found the lovely Babe
W:Laid in a manger as the voice had said.
W:Round they gathered, humbly kneeling,
W:Cried aloud with joyful feeling
W:"God has come to us!"
W:
W:"Hail thee! O Saviour, welcome, welcome be.
W:Four thousand years the world expected Thee.
W:Kings and prophets waited vainly,
W:Us thou hast prefered plainly,
W:In this humble shed."
