Hymn 129
As It Fell Upon a Night
This hymn's lyrics are not yet synchronised with the music.
1. As it fell upon a night
In the winter weather,
Angels bright in starry height
Began to sing together.
2. Shepherds sleeping on the plain
Woke to see the glory,
All amazed they stood and gazed
And heard the angels' story.
3. Unto you a child is born
In a manger lowly,
Humble, He, yet born to be
The King of Love most holy.
4. Happy angels from afar,
Cease your singing never!
In excelsis gloria!
Forever and forever.

In the winter weather,

Began to sing together.

Humble, He, yet born to be

4. Happy angels from afar,
Cease your singing never!
