At Thy shrine—Child divine—We are thine
Our Savior’s here.

Angels their guide to Bethlehem
In that place—Filled with grace—Saw Thy face
Stood at the door.

Love evermore.

Gold, myrrh and frankincence they bring
As ’twas said - Starlight led - To thy bed
Bending their knee.

Worshipping Thee.

Spotless, with God in unity

Since life began.

“Hallelujah” the angels sing

Godhead made man.

Sun, moon and stars proclaim His power
Every day—On our way—we shall say
Hallelujah.
“Hallelujah” the church bells ring
“Hallelujah” the angels sing
“Hallelujah” from everything
Hallelujah.
