An angel brought me news to keep.
He said, There shall be born this night
A little child of love and light.
Refrain:
Glory on high, and peace below,
O Benedicamus Domino!
2 He said, The Child lies in the stall,
But He shall bless the wide world all.
I saw the stall and holy Child;
I could not leave that presence mild. [Refrain]
3 The Child upon me turned His eye,
And in His hand my heart laid I.
When I went home the Child with me
Went, and would never parted be. [Refrain]
4 O holy Child, I hallow Thee,
And joyful is my heart in me.
Glory on high, and peace below,
O Benedicamus Domino! [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: TEUTOBURG FOREST
