Actual words in musical score:
- 1.
- Now when the tiny baby
- In Beth'lem manger did lie
- The night appeared as bright as the sun
- In the midday sky.
- Yet the stars glowed with such great beauty,
- Shining like harbingers, speaking to all;
- A brighter star did beam;
- It called the magi from the east -
- With its glorious summ'ning gleam.
- 2.
- Then over all the earth
- did war and discord cease,
- The roaring lion with the lamb
- was seen to graze in peace.
- See how the leopard and fatling
- together in the fields gamble and play,
- The bear with the calf feed,
- And wolves, at one with sheep,
- no longer show their greed.
- 3.
- The shepherds watch are keeping
- beneath the midnight sky,
- When suddenly, with sunlike blaze,
- An angel calls from on high:
- "Be not afraid, calm your fear,
- I bring you good tidings of great joy,
- Be happy and rejoice!
- For lo, this night, this very night
- to earth comes paradise.

Neapolitan Bagpipe Carol
- 1.
- Now when the new-born baby
- In Bethlehem did lie
- The night appeared as bright as the sun
- In the shining noonday sky.
- Shining so brightly,
- glowing so lightly,
- Thousands of stars cast their light upon earth
- To greatest and to least.
- The brightest of all
- shone out to call
- The wise men from the East.
- 2.
- To shepherds in the meadows
- Who watched their flocks by night
- An angel came in the heart of the fold
- All ringed with heavenly light.
- “Shepherds so humble,
- shepherds so faithful,
- Lift up your eyes, be not afraid –
- Glad tidings you I bring,
- For Christ the Lord, the dear Son of God,
- Is born to be your King.”
- 3.
- Then men gave up their strife
- And peace with mercy came:
- The leopard so wild lay down with the calf
- And the lion with the lamb.
- No more anger, no more danger;
- Swords into ploughshares, joy upon earth:
- The wolf shall guard the fold.
- All creatures rejoice with heart and voice –
- Good will to all the world.
