Classic Poem

All Angels, gaze,
'Mid wond'ring songs of praise,
On this so fair a sight:
On God's great Son,
With mortals made at one
This blessed night!

Hie, shepherds, hie!
Kneel, chant a lullaby!
Your Shepherd's here asleep.
Hell's rav'ning Beast
No more shall rend or feast
On us, poor sheep.

Wise Men and Kings,
All your most precious things
On Him, Who gave them, spend!
His kingdom's come:
Bringing of joys the sum,
Of ills the end.

O World, arise!
No longer in the skies
Your King aloof remains.
See here the sign:
To house Him with the kine
The Lord God deigns!
