16430. The Newborn King

1 In the silence of the night
Shepherds saw a hea­ven­ly light;
And they heard the an­gel say,
"Christ the Lord" is born to­day.

Refrain:
Glory! glo­ry let us sing,
Glory to the new­born King!
Loud ho­san­nas we will raise,
In the great Re­deem­er’s praise.

2 Then a host ap­peared and sang,
Heaven with hal­le­lu­jahs rang;
Peace on earth, good-will to men,
Was pro­claimed at Beth­le­hem. [Refrain]

3 Wise men, guid­ed by His star,
Sought the Stran­ger from afar;
Brought their gifts of myrrh and gold
To Mes­si­ah, long fore­told. [Refrain]

4 "Jesus, Sav­ior, migh­ty Lord!
Prince of Peace!" by Hea­ven ado­red;
Life and light He came to bring;
Hail we, then, the new­born king! [Refrain]
