Never shone a light so fair

        1

Never shone a light so fair,

Never fell so sweet a song,

As the chorous in the air

Chanted by the angel throng;

Every star took up the story:

"Christ has come, the Prince of glory,

Come in humble hearts to dwell;

God with us,God with us,

God with us, Immanuel!"

Still the Jubilee of song

Breaks upon the rising morn;

While the anthem rolls along,

Floods of light the earth adorn

Old and young take up the story:

Welcome now the blessed day,

When we praise the Lord our King;

When we meet to praise and pray,

And His love with gladness sing:

Let the world take up the story:
