GOD SENT AN ANGEL

Then God sent an angel from heaven so high,
To certain poor shepherds in fields where they lie,
And bade them no longer In sor¬row to stay,
Because that our Saviour was born on this day.

Fountain of life eternal, Him We worship evermore :
Out of His plenitude receive Ineffable delight,
And shall through endless ages live
Triumphant in His sight.
