Only for shepherd's sight, Came blest visions of angel throngs, With their loud hallelujah songs, Saying, Jesus is come, Saying, Jesus is come. 3 Holy night! peaceful night! Child of heav'n! Oh, how bright Thou didst smile on us when Thou wast born! Blest indeed was that happy mourn; Full of heavenly joy, Full of heavenly joy.
