Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →A traditional Christmas carol recounting the nativity in ballad style: angels announce Christ's birth to shepherds on the plain, who wake in wonder at the glory. The final stanza identifies the child as 'the King of Love most holy.'
Verse 1
As it fell upon a night
In the winter weather,
Angels bright in starry height
Began to sing together.
Verse 2
Shepherds sleeping on the plain
Woke to see the glory,
All amazed they stood and gazed
And heard the angels' story.
Verse 3
Unto you a child is born
In a manger lowly,
Humble, He, yet born to be
The King of Love most holy.
Verse 4
Happy angels from afar,
Cease your singing never!
In excelsis gloria!
For ever and for ever.
