1.
The shepherds saw in Eastern sky,
Star of promise shining bright,
Ever gleaming, gleaming ever,
With its bright effulgent light.
Refrain:
Blessed Saviour, Son of Mary,
In a stable He was born,
Holy Angels watching o'er Him,
On that natal Christmas morn.


2.
In David's city, ere the dawn,
In a manger, Christ was born,
Holy Angels watching o'er Him,
On that natal Christmas morn.
Refrain.


3.
Of noble, royal lineage
House of David, Prince and King,
Came our Saviour, infant Jesus,
And His praises we will sing.
Refrain.


4.
"To God on high all glory be,"
Thus the joyous paean ran;
"Ever hail our Saviour's advent -
Peace on earth, good will to man."
Refrain.


Lyrics: Samuel C. Upham, 1876.
