on earth now  is born.


His throne is a manger, 
His court is a loft,
But troops of bright angels, 
in lays sweet and soft,
Him they proclaim, our Christ by name,
And earth, sky and air straight 
are filled with his fame.

Then shepherds, be joyful; 
salute your new King,
Let hills and vales ring to 
the song that ye sing.
Blessed be the hour, 
welcome the morn,
For Christ our dear Saviour 
on earth now is born
